Abstract

The article focuses on newly released investigative findings regarding the 2022 crash of China Eastern Airlines flight 5735, which killed all 132 people on board. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that fuel supply to the Boeing 737’s engines was deliberately cut off mid-flight at 29,000 feet, causing engine shutdown and supporting theories of intentional action. Chinese authorities have not released a final report, citing national security, and no official cause has been confirmed. Experts note that shutting off fuel mid-flight is highly unusual and suggest deliberate pilot involvement, a factor also under investigation in a separate 2025 Air India Boeing 787 crash.
