Data from a black box recovered from the China Eastern Airlines jet that crashed in March suggests someone in the cockpit intentionally crashed the plane, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

A Western official told Reuters that preliminary investigation did not find any indication of a technical malfunction and the focus is now on the actions of the crew.

Flight MU5735 crashed as it was heading from the city of Kunming in southeastern China to Guangzhou, a major city and export manufacturing hub near Hong Kong.
