Air Crash Report is about a devastating air crash that occurred in China in 2022, in which all 132 passengers and crew members on board were killed. After three years of investigation, one preliminary report and two anniversary updates were issued, all maintaining that no faults or abnormalities were found—leaving the cause of the disaster an unsolved mystery.
