Earlier Today , the 2015 built China Eastern B737-800 aircraft (B-1791) doing flight MU5735 (Kunming (KMG) - Guangzhou (CAN) crashed killing all 132 onboard , which  prompted the China Eastern Airlines to ground the Fleet (102 B737-800 aircraft) .

 
 

China's Civil Aviation Regulator CAAC said,

The Boeing 737-800 from Kunming city to the southern hub of Guangzhou "lost airborne contact over Wuzhou" city in the Guangxi region , the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said in an online announcement.

"At present, it has been confirmed that this flight has crashed," the CAAC said, adding that it had activated its emergency response and "dispatched a working group to the scene." The plane was carrying 123 passengers and 9 flight crew members, the CAAC said.

 


 

However, an earlier state media report had said there were 133 people on board .Affected carrier 'China Eastern' has set up a hotline for people seeking information about those on board.

 

The airlines has greyed out its logo on its Weibo account and also changed its website to black and white in an apparent sign of mourning.

 
 

Flight Radar24 Tracking data showed the aircraft was traveling at a normal cruising altitude of FL291 (29100 feet) until time 06:20:59Z , after which a sudden descent took place.

 

The data suggest the plane crashed within about 90 seconds of whatever cause made it to dive towards the ground. The 117 rescuers, working at the crash site and that 650 more rescuers and firefighters, organized by the Guangxi fire department could control the fire , as per the latest report.
