Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner suddenly sank on flight from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand. Around 50 people were injured in the incident.
Boeing now recommends that all airlines check cockpit seats at the earliest opportunity. According to a report in the trade magazine "Air Current", the incident could be due to a strange breakdown. The investigators have their sights on a switch on the pilot's seat that a flight attendant could have unintentionally activated when she brought the pilot a meal into the cockpit. This in turn led to the machine suddenly sinking.
