PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia (Reuters) – The AirAsia airliner that crashed two weeks ago in Indonesia [pro_ad_display_adzone id=”8″]likely “experienced an explosion” before hitting the water due to a [pro_ad_display_adzone id=”10″]significant change in air pressure, a senior government official said on Monday.
“My analysis is, based on the wreckage found and other findings, the plane experienced an explosion [pro_ad_display_adzone id=”10″]before it hit the water,” Supriyadi, operations coordinator at the [pro_ad_display_adzone id=”10″]National Search and Rescue Agency, told reporters.
He said the left side of the plane seemed to have disintegrated, pointing to a change in pressure that could have caused an explosion.
