Default China crash jet had fatigue cracks

China crash jet had fatigue cracks

Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council said fatigue cracks probably caused a
China Airlines plane to crash in May 2002, killing all 225 people on
board. In releasing its final crash report, the council said the cracks
appear to have caused "structural failure" in the tail section of the
Boeing 747-200, which disintegrated in the air shortly after take-off.
It said the cracks may have appeared in 1980 - when the plane's tail
hit the runway during a take-off in Hong Kong.
