Mongolia doubted fuel shortage theory in Lin Biao plane crash
(Kyodo) _ An investigation by Mongolia into the 1971 plane crash that killed Lin Biao, China's No. 2 leader at the time, concluded that the cause was unlikely to have been a lack of fuel as China says, records obtained by Kyodo News show.
Meanwhile, a Mongolian source knowledgeable about the investigation told Kyodo that the team of investigators had concluded that a struggle had probably taken place onboard as Lin tried to flee to the Soviet Union after the failure of his attempted coup.
The unreleased 16-page report, titled "The final document concerning the reason for the crash of a Chinese plane in Mongolia," is dated Nov. 20, 1971. It was obtained by Kyodo together with pictures of the plane crash site, which have also never been made public.
The report says the investigation into the plane crash on Sept. 13 that year was carried out about a month later, from Oct. 8 to 18, with the cooperation of Soviet experts.
It says the investigative team concluded that the direct reason for the crash was a navigation problem, rejecting the possibility that the plane was shot down.
It also cast doubt on the theory that the plane ran out of fuel, saying, "The fact that a fire broke out over a widespread area for a long period of time shows that there was enough fuel to continue the flight."
It adds that there is "no proof to conclude that a decision was made to land because of an urgent reason."
The Mongolian source said that at the time, investigators were united in the view that there must have been a struggle onboard between those who supported Lin's fleeing to the Soviet Union and those who wanted to return to China.
The Mongolian report says that of the eight guns found on the site, one was loaded with a bullet.
Whether there was any violence involving gunshots remains a mystery, as another report on the joint investigation of the Soviet Union and the Mongolian government, also obtained by Kyodo, says there were no bullet wounds on Lin's body.
While the power struggle in China that led to Lin's death has gone largely unexplained, some historians believe that leader Mao Zedong had become uncomfortable with Lin's power and had planned a purge.
According to that theory, Lin realized this and planned a pre-emptive coup, but when his plans failed, he and his family attempted to flee to the Soviet Union.
