<p>Video emerged on Monday of a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 taking a sharp vertical plunge into a mountainous region in southern China, presumably killing the more than 130 people on board the plane as there were no signs of survivors.</p>
<p>Flightradar24 released data from the flight that showed the aircraft was cruising at just over 29,000 feet when it then plunged more than 20,000 feet in under a minute before later slamming into the ground.</p>
<p>&#8220;The plane was in the far east of the Guangxi region, where weather reports don’t suggest any possible contributing factors,&#8221; The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/21/world/asia/flight-path-eastern-airlines.html">reported</a>. &#8220;Temperatures reached a high of 86 degrees Fahrenheit around 2 p.m., according to the China Meteorological Administration. Winds were moderate at less than 12 miles per hour, and visibility was 10 miles. Rain was forecast for the evening, but no precipitation had been measured at the time of the crash.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Times reported that a manager for Wuzhou City Beichen Mining confirmed to the newspaper that their surveillance camera caught an image that appeared to be the plane plunging straight into the ground.</p>

<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping called for an &quot;all-out effort&quot; in rescue operations for the passengers and for any safety hazards to be investigated.<a href="https://t.co/kNtjxwrjTG">https://t.co/kNtjxwrjTG</a> <a href="https://t.co/W7x92XA4wr">pic.twitter.com/W7x92XA4wr</a></p>

<p>“The cause of the plane crash is still under investigation, and the company will actively cooperate with relevant investigations,” China Eastern said in a statement. “The company expresses its deep condolences to the passengers and crew members who died in the plane crash.”</p>
<p>The crash stunned the communist nation as dictator Xi Jinping ordered an immediate investigation into the crash.</p>
<p>“China Eastern Airlines has grounded all its 737-800s,” BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-60819760#:~:text=China%20Eastern%20Airlines%20has%20grounded,be%20at%20the%20crash%20site.">reported</a>. “More than 600 emergency responders are said to be at the crash site. Firefighters reached the scene first and managed to extinguish a blaze in the hills caused by the crash.”</p>
<p>The BBC noted that the crash appears to be the first major crash involving an airliner in China in approximately 12 years.</p>
<p>A person who witnessed the plane crash told state media that “the plane fell vertically from the sky.”</p>
<p>“Although I was very far away, I could still see that it was a plane,” the witness, who was only identified by his surname, Liu, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/21/china/china-plane-crash-guangxi-intl-hnk/index.html">said</a>. “The plane did not smoke during the fall. The fire started after it fell into the mountain, followed by a lot of smoke. My heart was thumping. I immediately informed friends about the situation, that this area is dangerous and not to come nearby.”</p>
<p>The Times noted in a separate report that the Boeing 737-800 that crashed was not the same model as the Boeing 737 Max, which was involved in crashes in Asia and Africa a few years ago.</p>
