![💥 The Chinese authorities have known for 4 years that a pilot of a China Eastern Airlines jet — flight MU5735 — deliberately crashed the aircraft, killing all 132 aboard, according to data from the US. The data, released by the 🇺🇸 National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), confirms earlier leaked US accounts that Flight 5735, a Boeing 737, was intentionally crashed into mountains in Guangxi in Mar 2022. The NTSB readings from the flight recorders show two pilots wrestling over the controls after both engines were shut down by hand, the automatic pilot was switched off and the jet was pushed into a nosedive as it cruised between Kunming and Guangzhou. In the face of public anger, Beijing has failed to publish a report. Last July the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration responded to an inquiry with a warning that “disclosure [about the crash] may, if released, endanger national security and social stability”. Beijing is under pressure from international aviation organizations to come clean over the disaster, which appears to have followed a similar pattern to suspected murder-suicide acts by airline pilots that have killed hundreds since 2014. The NTSB was asked to decode the flight recorders of Flight 5735 and transmitted its readings to China two weeks after their recovery in 2022. The US agency released extracts from its findings on Thursday in response to a Chinese citizen’s freedom of information request. “It was found that while cruising at 29,000ft, the fuel switches on both engines moved from the run position to the cut-off position,” the NTSB said. “Engine speeds decreased after the fuel switch movement.” Graphs of control inputs and the aircraft’s movement showed a pilot’s yoke pushing the aircraft into a steep dive and efforts by the other pilot to halt the dive. The two pilots were turning their yokes in opposite directions, commanding left or right rolls from the ailerons on the edges of the wings. The report said that a power failure had halted the data recorder after 90 seconds but the battery-powered crew voice recorder had continued. The agency did not reveal the contents, which it transmitted to Beijing at the time and said it had not stored a copy. Video from the ground showed the Boeing plunging vertically. The crew made no radio calls and no emergency radar code was transmitted. Previous Chinese reports have said that all systems appeared to have been functioning normally. Two months after the crash, a US investigator said “the plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit”. China removed all references to that report, including screenshots, from social media. Three pilots were on the flight deck. Captain Yang Hongda, Zhang Zhengping, the first officer, and Ni Gongtao, a second officer in training. Speculation in China has centred on Zhang, one of the airline’s most experienced pilots, who had recently been demoted from his captain’s rank.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2051333127717708097/amplify_video_thumb/2051333068485689344/img/86HNmRHuUgutOJ1J.jpg)

A 16-year-old girl knocked on the door of an apartment on the 11th floor of one of the blocks in Shijia Mingzuo (世嘉铭座), a residential estate in Gongshu District (拱墅区), Hangzhou, just past midnight of Mar 26. She didn’t know the person living there — a young woman, who opened the door even though the visitor was a stranger, probably thinking a teenage girl would be harmless and never expecting she would soon regret her decision. As soon as the door opened, the girl outside whipped out a knife and immediately attacked her with a flurry of stabs and slashes. She cried for help; neighbors quickly came over and called the police. The attacker, the 16-year-old girl, ran over to a window and climbed through it. She then jumped off, crashed into the ground below and died. The young woman who lived in the apartment was seriously injured and sustained multiple stab/slash wounds including one on the brow ridge. The 16-year-old was reportedly a migrant worker in the city. Word has it that she’s stressed out and had snapped mentally. 🔪

“讲中文‼️” (speak Chinese‼️) The 🇨🇳 woman demanded a non-Chinese flight attendant speak Chinese (Mandarin) on AirAsia’s D7809 Chongqing to Kuala Lumpur flight on Apr 22 when the flight attendant politely asked her to lower her voice cuz she’s talking too loud on the phone after boarding (upper videos)… In the end the 🇨🇳 woman was removed from the flight by airport police (lower left video)… The flight attendant explained what happened in an Instagram story…

The 🇨🇳 woman fuss maker on that world-famous AirAsia flight did a live-streaming session on Douyin and also uploaded a few videos there — probably with the beauty filter maxed out… 😂 Long story short, she still thinks she’s right; it’s all other people’s fault… typical CCP thinking…

🇺🇸 USAF C-17 pilot Emily Barkemeyer (wife of USAF pilot Jared Barkemeyer) posted quite a few videos on 🇨🇳 Xiaohongshu (小红书 / Litter Red Book / REDnote) over the past few days; for some unknown reasons, she removed some of the videos afterwards — I believe too much was revealed in those deleted ones. Even 🇨🇳 media were surprised that she could actually post all those videos…

![This 🇨🇳 guy (Douyin handle: 查理; right pic) goes ballistic when a stranger says hi to him in London… [the video was uploaded to Douyin on Dec 9]](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1999119471282442463/amplify_video_thumb/1999119312058265601/img/MWcb4IwIZX24pnj9.jpg)
In this video uploaded to Xiaohongshu (RedNote) on Apr 23, another eyewitness (the man in right pic) on AirAsia’s D7809 🇨🇳 Chongqing to 🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur flight on Apr 22 explains what happened … He’s a Chinese national and long story short, he feels ashamed of his compatriot’s extremely bad and unreasonable behaviors… he’s supposed to transit at KL and then fly on to Maldives that day, but due to the significant delay he couldn’t make it there. He said he did a one-day tour in KL. The video was apparently uploaded in Chongqing; so presumably he flew back to China… 倒霉, as he said.

📍 That photo is NOT the selfie taken by the female tourist attacked by the snow leopard in Xinjiang on Jan 23. Note the “GIRO” logo on the woman’s helmet in the actual footage; there’s no logo on the helmet in the “selfie” — which first appeared on non-Chinese social media a few days ago… 👇🏻
