1:10Now PlayingThe day after the Boeing 737-800 crash, travelers at the Kunming Airport expressed sorrow for those on China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735. One passenger says many urged her to cancel her flight, but remains confident that flying is still safe.
Pilots of a doomed China Eastern Airlines Corp. flight failed to respond to calls from air-traffic controllers after tipping into a deadly nosedive, authorities said. The jet was traveling at close to the speed of sound just before it slammed into a hillside, according to a Bloomberg News review of flight-track data.
Investigators have offered no major insights as to why the Boeing Co. 737-800 jet carrying 132 people crashed near Wuzhou in southern China on Monday, saying at a press conference late Tuesday it was too early draw clear conclusions about the cause. All 123 passengers and nine crew are presumed dead.
Rough terrain and the state of the aircraft, which plunged from about 29,000 feet (8,840 meters), make the search difficult. The black boxes from Flight 5735 haven’t been recovered. China Eastern grounded its fleet of 737-800s and thousands of domestic flights were canceled Tuesday across the nation. Chinese officials have ordered a sweeping two-week safety review.
