ZNH - Mystery deepens around crash of China Eastern flight

The mystery of the China Eastern Airlines (NYSE:CEA) flight that crashed last week in China deepened after authorities said there was no evidence of explosive materials in the wreckage for the flight that crashed with 132 people on board. "Lab tests taken of 66 samples, 41 of which have been completed, showed no major common inorganic explosive or common organic explosive substances have been found," confirmed fire official Zheng Xi. That finding is preliminary and not enough to rule out a terror attack of some sort on the plane. An illness by the pilot or intentional act to crash the plane have also not been ruled out, although it has been reported that all three pilots on board had good performance records and stable family backgrounds. A transmitter installed close to a missing black box was found in the wreckage, but the actual flight data recorder has not been found
