Re: Eastern Airlines MU5735 Crashes In China
Claim: Image shows China Eastern Airlines plane in a nosedive A Chinese Boeing 737-800 commercial passenger jet plunged almost 30,000 feet into a mountain jungle on March 21, exploding in a ball of flame in the province of Guangxi. No survivors have been found among the 132 passengers and crew members aboard China Eastern Flight MU5735. It was China's first major airline crash since 2010, according to The New York Times. A March 22 Facebook post captioned “#MU5735” purports to show an image of the plane barreling toward the ground without its tail. “As seen on close up footage of the crash, vertical stabilizer – tail – of aircraft had been detached (sic),” text on the image reads. The post accumulated more than 4,000 reactions and 1,600 shares in two days. The tail section of the plane consists of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, including the fin, rudder and elevators, which help to control the plane in flight. But the image in the claim does not show the China Eastern crash. Instead it's a frame from a documentary's animated simulation of a 1997 plane crash. The investigation into the cause of Flight MU5735's crash is continuing. The above along with a short video of smoke and flames after Flight MU5735 (not the false lead) had impacted the ground on the link below... https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/f...35/7140566001/ |

Unless there was a rapid decompression, they would all sadly be very much alive and conscious.

Re: Eastern Airlines MU5735 Crashes In China
737's have had issues in the past, with similar results. "During the 1990s, a series of issues affecting the rudder of Boeing 737 passenger aircraft resulted in multiple incidents. In two separate accidents, pilots lost control of their aircraft due to a sudden and unexpected rudder movement, and the resulting crashes killed everyone on board, 157 people in total. Similar rudder issues led to a temporary loss of control on at least one other Boeing 737 flight before the problem was ultimately identified. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the incidents were the result of a design flaw that could result in an uncommanded movement of the aircraft's rudder. The issues were resolved after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered modifications for all Boeing 737 aircraft in service. In 2016, former NTSB investigator John Cox stated that time has proven the NTSB correct in its findings because no additional rudder-reversal incidents have occurred since Boeing's redesign." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737_rudder_issues |
