Hong Kong (CNN) Black box data recovered from a China Eastern flight that crashed in March suggests someone in the cockpit intentionally downed the plane, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a preliminary assessment from United States officials.
The Boeing 737-800 was flying from Kunming to Guangzhou when it nosedived from 29,000 feet mid air into the mountains, killing all 132 passengers and crew on board. It was China's deadliest air disaster in decades.
Information extracted from the plane's damaged flight-data recorder shows human input orders to the controls sent the plane into its deadly dive, according to the Journal, citing people familiar with the probe.
"The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit," the Journal quoted a person who is familiar with American officials' preliminary assessment as saying.
The plane's flight-data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were recovered from the crash and sent to the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in Washington DC for analysis, Chinese state media earlier.
American officials involved in the investigation are focusing on the actions of a pilot, the Journal reported, adding that it is also possible that someone else on the plane could have broken into the cockpit and deliberately caused the crash.

Siis: Kiinalaisen China Eastern -lentoyhtiön Boeing 737-800 -kone syöksyi maahan vuoristoseudulla matkalla Kunmingistä Guangzhouhun Etelä-Kiinassa kuluvan vuoden maaliskuussa. Kone aloitti syöksyn 29 000 jalan (vähän alle yhdeksän kilometriä) korkeudesta. Kaikki lentokoneen 132 matkustajaa ja miehistön jäsentä kuolivat tässä Kiinan vakavimmassa lentoturmassa vuosikymmeniin.
Lentotietoja tallentavasta, vahingoittuneesta mustasta laatikosta saatiin selville, että joku oli tarkoituksellisesti ohjannut lentokoneen jyrkkään syöksyyn, eli siis tehnyt melkoisen joukkomurhan. Ei ole selvyyttä, oliko asialla lentäjä vai kenties joku ohjaamoon tunkeutunut ulkopuolinen. Asiaa tutkivat amerikkalaisviranomaiset.
