Half of the airport systems used to detect rapid changes in winds weren't working at the time of a deadly crash in southern Thailand, a government official said Tuesday.
Investigators are still working to determine the cause Sunday's crash at the airport on the resort island of Phuket.

Investigators have said wind shear — a sudden change in wind speed or wind direction in an airplane's flight path — could be a cause for the crash, which occurred in a heavy rain storm.
"Three out of six low-level wind shear alert systems were not working at the time," said Vuttichai Singhamanee, a director at the Transport Ministry's Aviation Authority Department.
