YOGYAKARTA - The Garuda passenger yet that crashed earlier this month killing 21, was landing with a speed much higher than normal. This was said by the chief inspector on Saturday. The plane with 140 people on board overshot the runway at Adi Sucipto airport of Yogyakarta. It crashed in rice fields and bust into flames.
The chief investigator, Mardjono Siswosuwarno, said the wing flaps failed to extend before landing and that might have caused by the high speed. "This could be a contributing factor, but what is more important is that the plane's speed was higher than normal. Why? We don't know yet," told Siswosuwarno, from the National Transport Safety Commission. Some survivors of the crash earlier described how fast the aircraft was approaching the runway.
Siswosuwarno said that experts in the United Stated had fixed the cockpit voice recorder, also known as the black box. It was badly burned in the fire. Investigators downloaded the last 30 minutes of the crew's conversations, he said. The pilots and cabin crew were also questioned by the police.
