Newly released investigative data about a 2022 China Eastern Airlines crash indicates the aircraft’s engines were deliberately starved of fuel and that there may have been conflict in the cockpit before the plane struck a mountain, killing all 132 people aboard. According to reports citing the new information, investigators have found indications consistent with an intentional fuel cut affecting both engines. The same sources also describe evidence suggesting a struggle over control of the aircraft while it was in flight. The reports do not present final conclusions about responsibility or motive in the excerpts available, but they characterize the sequence of events leading to the crash as involving both mechanical/operational actions related to fuel supply and unusual cockpit circumstances. The fatal crash occurred in 2022, and both outlets describe the newly released material as shedding additional light on how the aircraft’s operating conditions changed shortly before impact. The reports emphasize the investigative interpretation of the data rather than a definitive attribution, reflecting that the information is part of an ongoing review of the circumstances.
