Aviation experts around the world are also baffled by the cause of this crash, as the Boeing 737-800 is considered one of the aircraft models with the best safety record in the world. FlightRadar24 data shows that the plane suddenly crashed at an altitude of nearly 9,000 meters, regaining altitude in about 20 seconds, before crashing down a mountainside at a speed of about 600 km/h.

British aviation expert Sally Gethin said it was too early to predict the cause of the crash with the MU5735, but said the tail might malfunction, causing the plane to bend and plunge vertically. .

Pilot and passenger maybe faint in this process because the force G is too large, according to Gethin. Collisions at breakneck speed also make the chances of survival very slim.
