Flight MU5735 crash: Bereaved relative demands answers from airline over US report of deliberate dive

A relative of a passenger who died on China Eastern Airlines flight 5735 on March 21 has demanded an explanation from the carrier if it is proved that black box data suggested that the plane was intentionally sent on a nosedive.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that the flight controls of the Boeing 737-800 had pushed the plane into a dive, citing people familiar with US officials’ early assessment of the cause of the crash.
