All-out search and rescue efforts were underway on Monday after a China
Eastern Airlines aircraft report on casualties was available as of press
time.
"As of the end of February, China's civil aviation record for safety stood for 138
months, handling 5.11 billion passenger trips safely," Wu Shijie, deputy director of
the administration's safety office, told a monthly routine news conference last
week. According to data from flight radar 24, a global flight tracking service, the
plane reached a cruise altitude of nearly 9,000 meters shortly after departing from
Kunming at 1:11 pm. It plunged nearly 8,000 meters in 3 minutes at 2:19 pm and
crashed on the mountain.
The aircraft was a nearly 7-year-old Boeing 737-800 passenger jet, one of the
company's most widely used Eastern Airlines suspended all the
Boeing 737-800 jets after the Eastern Airlines Hong Kong shares

percent. The company's US shares and Boeing shares also fell sharply. Boeing Chief
Executive Dave Calhoun said in a letter on Monday that the planemaker has
offered the full support of its technical experts to the investigation led by the Civil
Aviation Administration of China. "We are deeply saddened by the news of the
accident involving a China Eastern Airlines 737-800 airplane. The thoughts of all of
us at Boeing are with the passengers and crew members on Flight MU 5735, as
well as their families and loved ones," Calhoun added.
No survivors have been found, local authorities said on Tuesday. Also on
Tuesday, more than 2,000 search and rescue workers intensified efforts to recover
the aircraft's two black boxes, or flight data recorders, to investigate the cause of
the Tao, director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China's
Aviation Safety Office, said at the news conference that the aircraft was severely
damaged, which poses a huge challenge to the investigation of the cause of the
crash."We are still at the preliminary stage of the investigation, so we cannot make
any judgment. The key task now is to locate the two black boxes. We will
immediately inform the public when the cause is confirmed."Li, who was working
nearby on the mobile communication network, said, "I then rushed to the site with
my colleagues and saw the aircraft debris, much of which was in small pieces. It
was scattered all over the mountains. The biggest piece I saw was part of a wing
with China Eastern's logo."
A flight recorder is an electronic recording device placed in an aircraft for the
purpose of facilitating the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents. Flight
recorders are also known by the misnomer black box—they are, in fact, painted
bright orange in color to aid in their recovery after are compulsory
on any commercial flight or corporate jet, and are usually kept in the tail of an
aircraft, where they are more likely to survive a crash. This box is made of Titanium
metal and is enclosed in a Titanium box which gives it the strength to withstand
any shock if it falls in the sea or falls from the height.
A black box of the China Eastern Airlines passenger plane that crashed
Monday afternoon has been recovered. Some human remains and parts of the
wreckage of the China Eastern Airlines passenger plane that crashed into a
mountain in Guangxi on Monday have been recovered at the crash site, an official

the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, adding that rescuers from the brigade
had covered a search area of 46,000 square meters by 7 pm

severely damaged, and it was initially believed as the cockpit voice recorder, said
Zhu Tao.
It was found under surface soil 20 meters southeast of the point of impact at
about 4:30 pm on Wednesday, Zhu Tao. A preliminary examination at the crash site
showed the black box's exterior to be severely damaged, Zhu said."Its data storage
unit is intact but with damage. " he said, adding that it has been sent to Beijing for
decoding, which may take some time depending on the severity of the
of the plane's wreckage and some human tissue were recovered at
the crash site. They have been handed over to the investigation team.

news conference that the pilot and two co-pilots were in good health and qualified

the three pilots had been good in the past and their families were also
