Failed last ditch search

-

PILOTS on the doomed Lion Air flight were franticall­y flicking through the plane’s manual to try to understand why it was lurching downwards in the moments before it crashed, according to people familiar with the cockpit voice recordings.

Investigat­ors are still working to figure out why the Boeing MAX 8 crashed into the Java Sea off Indonesia in October, killing 189 people. The incident has again come under the spotlight as investigat­ors search for possible links between it and last week’s similar crash of an Ethiopian Airlines plane that killed 157 people.
