China Flight Crash: Plane Crashed 'Almost Vertically', Descended At 31,000 Feet Per Minute

News 18  

The Chinese Communist Party, local officials of Guangxi and Yunnan are yet to release an official statement on the number of dead in the MU5735 Boeing 737-800 flight which crashed onto a hilly forest on Monday. The flight carried more than 132 people on board including crew members and no one is expected to survive the crash which caused a forest fire – the footage of which was widely released on Chinese social media apps and websites – at the site of the crash. China’s state-run news agency Global Times citing an unverified video said that the flight fell vertically – nose first – into the hilly forest in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. A report by the South China Morning Post also said that the flight was hurtling towards the hilly forest, descending at almost 31,000 feet per minute, before it crashed.
