Pilot from Previous Flight of Doomed Lion Air Jet Reported Problem Shortly After Takeoff
Nov. 2, 2018
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- New details about the crashed Lion Air jet's previous flight cast more doubt on the Indonesian airline's claim to have fixed technical problems, as hundreds of personnel searched the sea for a fifth day Friday for victims and the plane's fuselage.
The brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 plane plunged into the Java Sea early Monday, just minutes after taking off from the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, killing all 189 people on board.
