A Year Later, China Still Tries to Explain Plane's Nosedive

What’s new: China’s aviation regulator said the investigation is still underway to determine what caused China Eastern Airlines Corp. flight MU5735 to plunge into a hillside a year ago, citing the “complexity” of the disaster.

“Due to the complexity and rarity of this accident, the investigation is still ongoing,” the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Monday in a report on progress of the probe ahead of the one-year anniversary. The crash killed 132 people.
