But has everyone reached this consensus—this is a man-made suicide accident, and it was deliberately covered up by the authorities?
P.s. Will such views get my account blocked here?：哎哟：

Senior Pilot

Boeing stated the plane flew as commanded

No airworthiness directives for the 737 relating to this crash
No changes to pilots training after this 737 crash
No comments on bad weather etc

The authorities continue to investigate as they say “ it’s complicated “

looking at data posted online.

The plane is commanded to roll left, it rolls through the inverted and enters cloud very quickly, making recovery a bit more tricky, as you have to use instruments and ignore your senses. The plane loses height and the speed builds up all the time it is still rolling. The plane appears to be trimmed for positive g flight, going faster and faster pulling more and more g,. It continues to roll and achieves maybe 45 degrees down and speeds near Mach 1. Lower down in the atmosphere and after having flown well past it’s max structural speeds the plane seems to regain some control in roll and gains a little height. However the speed bleeds away and the nose of the plane drops.

Note, Boeing say the plane flew as commanded. ( or a very similar turn of phrase ) so with no airworthiness directives about autopliots etc.

It seems the pilots or a pilot commander a roll, that led them to enter cloud in a spiral dice, either intentionally or inadvertently.

Either way it appears a pilot or the pilots tried their best to recover from the situation, however the plane was so damaged from the high speed and high g dive that recovery was not possible. ( A combination of missing/ broken parts of the airframe and plastic deformation of the airframe.)

Totally tragic.

a possible learning point;

maybe demoting your most senior Captain and putting him in the right hand seat next to a new up and coming Captain was not an ideal crew composition for harmony.

So Megan, was your airborne incident investigated and your reaction to it professionally assessed by aviation medicos

Have to wonder was it the right thing going back for your final 8 years

Absolutely yes, getting back on the horse and all that, always enjoyed the hell out of the job, right to the final day. Getting over PTSD in my case was no different to getting over a broken leg, you just need expert attention.

Today is the 2 year anniversary of the crash. Is there any further or final report from the Chinese authorities?

You can assume that they are not being truthful, as they wish to avoid loss of face.
Welcome to the real world.

A320 Glider
That is poor reasoning. All it might have needed, if indeed it was a pressurisation failure, is for the aircraft to perhaps hit a bit of turbulence, or for the defective part just reached its limit and give out, and that could happen anywhere in flight.
