Sabotage might have caused plane crash
1 October 2002
A China Northern Airlines plane crash in May that killed 112 people could have been caused by sabotage, an airline official told Agence-France Presse. "Our official analysis is based on the fact that it wasn't a technical problem with the airplane and it wasn't the pilot's fault," he said.
Other sources said that an explosion occurred on board before the plane crashed into the sea near Dalian in Liaoning province.
