The Chinese Search Teams Are Scavenging The Lands Of Guangxi Province For Survivors Of Boeing 737-800
Boeing 737-800 with 132 passengers on board crashed on the mountainside with no survivors on Monday afternoon. Chinese recovery teams were going through the remains of the plane on Tuesday, hoping to find any survivors from the plane.
It was the deadliest Chinese plane crash in the last thirty years. There are already various questions regarding the cause of the crash. Eyewitnesses have seen 20,000 feet drop within a minute and lurch into the southern Chinese province.
The airlines have confirmed the fact that the plane was traveling to the southern hub of Guangzhou from the city of Kunming. But the all details are yet to come.
President Xi Jinping quickly took action and several survey teams were asked to comb the land. Along this firefighters and other various teams reached the site in the rural lands of Guangxi province.
On Tuesday parch marks from the fire caused by the crash were visible and rescue teams said to AFP that the passengers and their belongings are ‘totally incinerated’ by the fire.
A villager from the crashing scene said that the crashing ‘sound like thunder was followed by blaze blistering in the surrounding hills.
Though the media has reported that unauthorized search teams were scavenging the ground and over the scene as well. Along with trees that bared some piece of the plane along with all the scattered residue including the carrier of the plane.
Other teams took the help of drones to forage the grounds. The search became tough because of the dense forest and steep landscapes.
According to the footage published by the Chinese media, the disaster occurred very quickly in a vertical nosedive. Though, AFP was not able to verify the authenticity of the video immediately.
From Guangzhou Boeing 737-800 set off with 123 passengers and nine crew members. But in between the plane stopped and dropped 26,000 feet in total within three minutes.
But the most disturbing fact released by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) informed that flight MU5735 which set off from Kunming shortly after at 1 pm is ‘lost airborne contact over Wuzhou,’ a city in the Guangxi region.
China Eastern said, ‘The company expresses its deep condolences for the passengers and crew members who died in the plane crash,’ in their statement on the same day of the crash, along with various information about the crash.
The disaster is vividly unusual but Xi has been extremely quick with his reactions saying ‘shocked’ and has ordered and arranged quick investigative teams to look further and make this air travel safe for the country.
The Chinese media has also shared the fact that Vice Premier Liu He, a very close official to the president who mostly deals with economical matters was sent to the spot to supervise the rescue and investigative developments.
