| 1485089 | 2022-03-24 02:24:00 | www.bbc.com Note the flight path diagram at the end of the page, the kink. Also: graphics.reuters.com "The flight that crashed instead began a rapid descent to 7,425 feet before recovering briefly to 8,600 feet and then went into another dive, Flightradar24 data showed. The last tracked altitude was 3,225 feet above sea level." China has more 737-800 planes than any other country in the world also the youngest fleet of the aircraft. thats not the actual flighttracker graphic, the one i posted is a screen shot of the actual flaghttracker. also the "kink" has such a rapid increase its more than likely false data. more than likely its just media latching onto BS to dramatize the story. we won't know what actually happened until we see the black box data. |

| 1485090 | 2022-03-24 19:01:00 | I heard they have found the black box. Ken Chinese investigators began examining the cockpit voice recorder from a China Eastern Airlines (600115.SS) jet that plunged into mountainside with 132 people on board as recovery crews searched muddy fields on Thursday for a second black box. The recording material from the first black box, found on Wednesday, appeared to have survived the impact of Monday's crash in relatively good shape, a Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) official said. The cockpit voice recorder would provide investigators with details of communications between the flight's three pilots, which is one more than is normally required on board a Boeing (BA.N) 737-800 plane. The search continued for the flight data recorder. Debris from the jetliner including engine blades, horizontal tail stabilisers and other wing remnants was concentrated within 30 metres of the main impact point, which was 20 metres deep. One 1.3 metre-long fragment suspected to be from the plane was found about 10 km away, prompting a significant expansion of the search area, officials told a news briefing. |

One 1.3 metre-long fragment suspected to be from the plane was found about 10 km away, prompting a significant expansion of the search area, officials told a news briefing. 30m impact is a very small impact zone which is typical of nose dive impacts. a part 10km away sounds interesting. there is some thought that the so called "recovery" ie kink in the flight down, if its actually real its a very very steep recovery with speculation that it could well be over the planes structural limit. ie they recovered so fast that it broke something off the plane. or it could be original failure, eg piece broke off causing decompression or a flight control surface fell off. |

| 1485096 | 2022-03-27 20:36:00 | More background info: www.cbsnews.com Video is informative, mentions that the 2nd box was found 5 feet underground away from the point of impact which to me is strange because this is the cockpit voice recorder so it should be deep under ground at the point of impact since it is positioned in the cockpit at the front of the plane, the first thing to hit the ground in a vertical dive crash. I'm beginning to think the video of the plane diving which is unverified, is not the correct crash footage. Looks to me from the latest evidence as if it pancaked into the ground. |

| 1485097 | 2022-03-27 21:06:00 | Like the FDR, the CVR is typically mounted in the rear of the airplane fuselage to maximize the likelihood of its survival in a crash. It is only the microphones that are in the cockpit, the recorder CVR is in the rear of the aircraft with the FDR |

| 1485098 | 2022-03-27 22:37:00 | Looks to me from the latest evidence as if it pancaked into the ground . "The impact of the crash created a 65-foot-deep pit in the side of the mountain" Thats not a pancake . The vid does look a bit fake though, what are the chances of a vertical dive as seen in the vid . I would have thought it would be more of an angle, wouldn't it break up mid air if diving vertically from a great height ? Sounds like the pilots managed to briefly start to recover before loosing control again . Where there no radio transmissions during this time, could the pilots have been able to send out an emergency call ? |
