Prediction

China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735 was a scheduled domestic Chinese passenger flight which crashed on March 21 2022 leaving no survivors. Due to the steep descent profile and high speed, nearly vertical orientation of the aircraft upon impact, and precedent for airliner crashes involving suicide, there is some speculation that the crash may have been intentional. A competing hypothesis is that a technical problem like mechanical failure caused the crash.
