The plane was written off.[2] Crew members were from the United States (4), Indonesia (1), Belgium (1) and Zimbabwe (1).[3] ## Investigation Official investigation reports have been difficult to acquire over the years; on 28 February 2020, an English translation of a "brief abstract" of a Chinese investigation became publicly available. According to this translated abstract, the thrust levers were never advanced to takeoff position, and the autothrust never transitioned to takeoff mode. The crew perceived through physical cues that thrust was abnormally low, but neither identified the problem nor took any corrective action. Simulations seemed to indicate that with timely corrective action, recovery and prevention of the accident was possible. Fatigue was suspected to be a contributing factor for all crew members, many suffering jetlag from lengthy travel and numerous time zone transitions to position themselves for the accident flight.[3] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** Kaminski-Morrow, David (2009-11-29).
