China Airlines Jet That Caught Fire

After a China Airlines plane caught fire in Okinawa, Japan, an investigation in the fire has discovered that the fuel tank of the China Airlines plan had a hole in it.

Expert investigators from Japan, Taiwan and the USA have all been looking into the crash and the wreckage of the China Airlines plane. They have uncovered a structural bolt had pierced the fuel tank of the Boeing 737-800 series aircraft.

The transport ministry said: “We spotted a hole in a fuel tank. We suspect that oil leaked from this hole and spilled from the right wing to the outside.”

Do you think Boeing is to blame for the fire?

Or it is the fault of China Airlines?
