Indonesian investigators (KNKT) revealed the crashed Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX had a damaged airspeed indicator on its four preceding flights.
This critical discovery, extracted from the plane's flight data recorder, has prompted a joint investigation with Boeing and US authorities (NTSB) to determine the cause and prevent future incidents.
The exact nature of the airspeed indicator damage (mechanical or maintenance) and its direct link to the crash remains under investigation, with the cockpit voice recorder yet to be recovered.

Uthenthawai students and alumni declare truce with Pathumwan rivals

Yesterday 20:34 Key points summarised by AI

Uthenthawai students and alumni have pledged to cease violent clashes with Pathumwan Institute rivals, coinciding with their campus's reopening after a 90-day closure.
The Minister of Higher Education is mediating the long-running conflict, while the campus closure has significantly disrupted in-person classes and laboratory work for over 1,000 students.
Uthenthawai resists relocation from its current site, citing a historical land grant from King Rama VI, despite Chulalongkorn University's plans to reclaim the land for an educational hub.
Concerns are mounting over the legality of the campus closure, its detrimental impact on uninvolved students, and the potential commercial development of the land, which critics argue contradicts the late King Rama VI's intentions.
