On Monday, a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 with 132 people on board crashed in the mountains of southern China on a domestic flight after a rapid descent from cruising altitude.
According to the media, there were no survivors, and the airline expressed its condolences for the passengers and crew who died.
The plane was flying from Kunming, Yunnan province’s capital, to Guangzhou, Guangdong province’s capital, which borders Hong Kong.
The aeroplane descended at a terminal velocity of 31,000 feet per minute, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24. The cause of the tragedy is being investigated, according to China Eastern.
According to the airline, it established a hotline for customers’ relatives and dispatched a staff to the catastrophe scene.

The plane crashed and set fire to bamboo trees, according to media accounts. A provincial firefighting department official declared to the People’s Daily that there was no sign of life among the rubble.
The jet, which was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members, lost communication above Wuzhou, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and the airline.

According to FlightRadar24 data, the flight left Kunming at 1:11 p.m. (0511 GMT) and was scheduled to arrive in Guangzhou at 3:05 p.m. (0705 GMT).
Despite the fact that the cruising phase of flight takes up the majority of the flight duration, accidents are rare.
According to statistics given by Boeing last year, just 13% of fatal commercial accidents occurred during the cruise phase between 2011 and 2020, whereas 28% of fatal accidents occurred on final approach and 26% on landing.
China may lift the ban on B737 MAX aircraft if certain conditions are met.
