China’s People’s Daily reported that rescuers had found one of the black boxes of the China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 that crashed.
A Chinese official said weather conditions were normal at the time of the crash.
Finding the black box that records flight information and data can help investigators clarify what happened before this passenger flight crashed and plunged into the mountainous area of the district. Teng, Wuzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Earlier, torrential rain on March 23 hindered the search for victims and the black box of the Boeing 737 plane that crashed. Rescuers had to suspend the search due to bad weather. China Central Television (CCTV) at the scene said there was a risk of landslides due to heavy rain. In addition, the deep hole created after the accident is currently flooded with rainwater, so drainage will need to be carried out before search and rescue operations can be resumed.
The search and rescue operation involved hundreds of firefighters, officials and volunteers. On March 22, the director of the Aviation Safety Office of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), Zhu Tao announced that no survivors had been found.
This is the first official comment from the Chinese aviation authorities about the possibility that all 132 people on board were killed. Zhu Tao also said that it is still too early to draw conclusions about the cause of the accident and that rescuers are still searching for the black boxes.
On the afternoon of March 21, flight number MU5735 of China Eastern Airlines from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, to Guangzhou carrying 132 people crashed while flying over southern China.
After the accident, on March 22, China Eastern Airlines grounded all Boeing 737-800 aircraft and thousands of domestic flights were canceled nationwide.
