The China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737 crash that killed all 132 people onboard in March may have been caused deliberately. Black box suggests someone in the cockpit had input controls that sent the plane into a near-vertical descent. "The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit."

Yeah..no one's suiciding from inside the cockpit. It can be done remotely pretty easily and made to look like it was done internally, like with Michael Hastings and Gary Caradori

Germanwings flight did it a few years ago. A 737-800 is one of the most reliable airplanes on the market.

All Boeing planes have had remote control built-in since way before 9/11. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
