This air disaster took place in the Indonesian skies on the 9th of January 2021. The Boeing 737-500 operated by Sriwijaya Air crashed into the Java Sea shortly after take off, taking the lives of all 62 passengers and crew onboard. One of the suggested reasons behind the crash is considered to be a faulty AutoThrottle system that altered the left engine rudder position during the flight. At the same time, it is thought that the pilots experienced spatial disorientation and simply did not realise that the aircraft was banking left, losing altitude. They crashed into the sea from an altitude of over 3000km and the air crash investigation is still in its ongoing state by the Indonesian authorities.
