Jeju Air plane bound for Seoul crashed Sunday, killing all 157 people on board, including eight Americans and 18 Korean.

The recently acquired aircraft was the same Boeing 737 Max 8 model that was involved in a crash in Indonesia in October. The preliminary investigation into the October crash focused on a malfunctioning sensor and computer system that pushed down the plane’s nose.

Data from the crash appears to show a similar erratic flight path, with the plane first ascending, then descending, then ascending sharply before it fell from the sky.

According to Jeju Airlines’ chief executive, the flight took off at 8:38 a.m. and lost contact with air traffic control six minutes later, crashing near Shantou, less than 40 miles Northeast of Hong Kong.

“It is a brand new airplane, it had no technical remarks and was flown by a senior pilot, and there is no cause we can see at this time,” he added, saying the plane was only four months old, had flown 1,200 hours and had arrived from Cebu that morning.

The full investigation is expected to be completed later this year, probably in May, Korean officials say.
