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.
