A China Eastern Boeing 737 carrying 132 people crashed in remote mountains in southern China on Monday after plummeting 30,000 feet, officials said.
The fiery crash occurred near the city of Wuzhou in the southern province of Guangxi around 2:30 p.m. local time, the Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement.
There was no immediate word on the numbers of dead and injured.
Flight 5735 was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members, according to officials.
Rescue crews were on scene and fire crews were trying to control a mountainside blaze ignited by the crash, the CAAC said.
Satellite data from NASA showed a massive fire in the vicinity of where the plane went down at the time of the crash.
China state media reports that 132 people were on the airplane that crashed on March 21. State media cited a rescue official as saying the plane had completely disintegrated upon impact.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the crash.
The flight had taken off from the city of Kunming just after 1 p.m and was en route to Guangzhou.
Contact with the plane was lost at about 2:15 p.m. local time, the Guangxi provincial emergency management department said.
The plane had been traveling at around 30,000 feet when it suddenly entered a deep dive just after 2:20 p.m., according to data from flight-tracking website FlightRadar24.com.
The data suggests the plane crashed within a minute and a half.
China Eastern Airlines has since changed its website color to black and white, which airlines do in response to a crash as a sign of respect for the assumed victims.
The plane that crashed was a 6-year-old 737-800 aircraft, according to Flightradar24.
Ambulances arrive at the scene after a China Eastern plane reportedly crashed in Teng County in Wuzhou City, Guangxi province.
The 737-800 model has a good safety record and is the predecessor to the 737 MAX model that has been grounded in China for more than three years following fatal crashes in 2018 in Indonesia and 2019 in Ethiopia.
The deadliest crash involving a Boeing 737-800 was in January 2020 when Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard accidentally shot down a Ukraine International Airlines flight, killing all 176 people on board.
China’s last deadly crash of a civilian jetliner was in 2010.

Reports are already claiming no survivors on board, RIP

Flag of Ethiopia on the wings. Could be real though not CGI.
Many reasons how that could happen. Pilots committing suicide and murdering the passengers has been witnessed many times in aviation industry. But lets just wait for the investigation.
The other possible reason why the plane completely nosedived is because that's what 737 does.

That looks terrible, I can only imagine what the passengers last moments went like. The plane could have possibly been shot down, no way it could have been a fuel shortage/engine failure or something.

would a pilot with suicidal thoughts be able to hold such a steep dive? wouldn't the massive amount of G's will restrict him/her to apply any changes to control surfaces? i don't think this was even recoverable
Edit: By the way these videos are being circulated but we don't know if they are authentic or not, there are no time stamp or any other means to know

Could be hydraulic failure or any failure related to the horizontal stabiliser. Other possible but unlikely case is suicide.
And yes, fuel shortage or engine failure cannot bring the plane down like this. It doesn't look like it was shot down either from the videos.
