Somebody did something.
Are they going to question the crew?
“Somebody did something.”
I watched a Chinese woman who does a western version of what’s really going on in China. She’d done some amazing investigative work. The copilot had been the senior pilot for the airline, a prestigious position that probably paid in excess of $190kUSD. Apparently, he was demoted after what appears to be a trumped-up incident. The idea was to replace him with the much more junior son of a highly placed CCP official. She said that political jobs like this were the norm and the former chief pilot had actually earned the position with some phenomenal number of incident free flight hours. If he was demoted to make room and salary available to hire a political appointee in his place then it was a huge, humiliating loss of face. She speculated that based on how differently the CCP was handling this case than it has handled other cases that they are covering up something embarrassing. (Something that would cause a loss of party “face.”) She detailed the differences between this and other crashes. Also, the CCP has assigned three (3) “minders” to each of the surviving relatives to keep them off social media. This is unprecedented.
I could not find her video and, so far as I know, she’s the only one who had this story along with the bio’s of the two pilots.
Recent story in WSJ pointed out several such deliberate-seeming crashes in recent years, nobody with a clue except that they plunged straight into barren rocky erf.
Beyond that hush hush.
White supremacist.
