Crashed Lion Air Plane Should Not Have Been Flying

  • 5 years ago
The Lion Air plane that crashed into the sea was "no longer airworthy," Indonesian officials said. It experienced problems that meant it was out of control on its previous flight, but it was cleared for take-off the next morning, the aviation head at Indonesia's National Transport Safety Committee said. A preliminary report did not conclude why the plane had crashed, and officials say it is too early to say if an issue with the plane's anti-stall system was a contributing factor in the crash.
