u. s. officials attached to the investigation. could these claims be true? and 3 months off of the philippines reopened from a long corbet lockdown. most schoolkids dare have gift to return to places many are giving up on education altogether. ah. i'm british manager. welcome to the dublin news asia. glad you could join us. china's deadliest aviation disaster in decades could have been deliberate on media report. starting u. s. official says the march crash of china eastern flight m u 5735. could have been caused by court, some one in the cockpit. u. s. officials are helping analyze the flights data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. the new assessment is based on information from the state up. a 132 people lost their lives. after the boeing 737800

plunged vertically into a mountain side in southern china. this video, unverified, but widely shared on social media, allegedly shows the final moments of flight m, u 5735. on march 21st. soon afterward, cruise began retrieving that every each piece a potential clue into what caused the deadly disaster. now there are indications that the crush might have been deliberate. data from the black box, reportedly shows someone had sent a plane into a fatal nose dive. this, according to the wall street journal, which cited people familiar with the preliminary assessment of u. s. officials. the u. s. took parting investigations since the aircraft was manufactured there. the boeing 737800 from china,

eastern airline was on its way to the south and city of kong. jo, when it's suddenly plunged into a mountain side. none of the 132 people on board survived. both the us and china say they're received no information from the other side on their respective investigation results so far. although beijing says it's doing its part to share data and will keep doing so. for me, roger belcher, ivy ation regulators will continue to maintain close communication with all parties involved in the investigation and release related information in a timely and accurate manner. you're actually wanting to china. easton airline had previously said the pilots, health and family conditions were good. when asked about a possible cockpit intrusion, it said such scenario was not plausible. almost 2 months after the tragedy, families of the deceased sate their wounds will not heal. not at least until they

know why it happened. and gentlemen, all for more from melbourne is krystal john. she's an associate professor automated university australia and an expert in china's deviation industry. professor john, welcome. what is your reaction to the media report that this crash was deliberate? i mean, could this be true? and thank you very much for having me today. my pleasure to be here. my 1st reaction is that it's very surprisingly present in terms of how speedy it is and to a restore and analyze the data from the damaged black boxes. because as we know from the previous reports and also from the information available, that the 2 black boxes actually were severely damaged and then they were transported to america for data restoration and data analysis. so that really means is in less than 2 months time debate,

her was able to be restored at to be analyzed in some information. apparently was available for further investigation and for the analysis. so i think from that perspective is really very, very effective. you investigation process better to what extent that information is . you know, i'm not questioning the authentication of the data, but i think is still a need for the investigation that really demonstrates that there might be various, a scenarios that the murphy ages are very, very interested. and willing to explore that might be one of the scenarios that they need to investigate. right now, let's assume for a moment that the final investigation understood, awaiting his final investigation. this investigation concludes that this was indeed a deliberate act. do you think we can expect china to make this report public? oh, so that is a kind of a true position at you, the events that it is

a deliberate a fact i i'm, i'm confident that the investigator and also the authority a c as a regulator and also safety education authorization will be very all nice and, and all not the fact i'm but you for there are other contributing factors. and also, as we know that when something contributes to the air crash and perhaps in not just one single effect that to affect it that will contribute to the crash hours a day or more than one contributing factors. so we need to take a holistic out assistant approach to that, which i not have heard a relatively good safety record a safety record in the past due to a kid. particularly when can you talk to us a bit about the standards of a safety employed in china to make sure that across are safe to fly?

yes, absolutely. i think as we know that in the past 14 years, perhaps chuck nice, maintain a very high safety red hole in terms of there is no fatal crash. and the latest one besides this one was at $994.00 and that was the aircraft crash. you know, it read north eastern city in china, but ever since then there apparently there has been no fatal crash, but it has been set that apparently there are some issues in terms of law, safety, hassan, etc, etc. and this is something that is not or not, not avoidable in a vision operation, because with no air transport, the industry is a high risk of industry and the safety is the priority of the industry at the global scale. so china apparently is very committed to enhancing aysa city management system and implemented the various type of procedures and measurements

in terms of improving safety record. but having said that, we do understand that in the past 10, back in the past 10 years, in the past decade, that the air transport has been growing very, very rapidly, exponentially in china's domestic market and the chinese authority, they recognize that there are variations in terms of the development and the growth for the air transport industry, for example, the east and of course, along the eastern coast that is rapidly developing. but the central and the basin part is also experiencing rapid growth. but then the traffic is really shifting from the east to the west, but in terms of the infrastructure, the cetera et cetera weston and the central part of china is not as advanced as to the extent of those in the, in the eastern part. so that actually, you know,

i give i significant kind of a pressure in terms of the safety management. so up from the industries perspective, apparently, you know, this kind of a pension has been existing for quite some time. either you are satisfied in the air travel demand and you know, from the public, all you maintain that very high, our safety record. and so that you see a pattern has been very committed to and timing the very high safety recall. but apparently something has happened very recently. we'll have to leave with her for the time being. but thank you so much for that insight into china's aviation industry crystal ring from the otter my to university in australia. thank you so much. my pleasure and k. ah lou, after 2 years of strict lockdown and some of a shares, highest infection rates, people in the philippines have been adjusting to life again with fewer corona, virus restrictions. but most schools are still waiting for the green light. our
