'Lion Air crashed airworthy'

jakarta - The crash of the Indonesian passenger plane, where all 189 passengers were killed, could probably have been prevented. The Indonesian committee on transport safety (KNKT) says Wednesday in a preliminary investigation report that the Boeing 737 of the budget company Lion Air during a flight the day before had already been 'not airworthy'.

The plane crashed into the sea on October 29, just eleven minutes after the start in the Indonesian capital Jakarta.
