"A China Eastern Boeing 737 with 132 people on board crashed in the southern province of Guangxi on Monday, officials said.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China said in a statement the crash occurred near the city of Wuzhou in Teng county. The flight was traveling from Kunming in the western province of Yunnan to the industrial center of Guangzhou along the east coast, it added.

There was no immediate word on numbers of dead and injured. The plane was carrying 123 passengers and nine crew members, the CAAC said, correcting earlier reports that 133 people had been on board.

The CAAC said it had sent a team of officials, and the Guangxi fire service said work was underway to control a mountainside blaze ignited by the crash."

That's awful!

Edit- I've just seen a video of the crash and unfortunately nobody could have survived that.

The way it crashed, everyone's probably gone

The footage of the crash is terrifying to say the least. I hope there will be survivors but by the looks of it, I doubt there are any. This is very, very tragic. 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

Unfortunately, based upon the videos, it's not very likely. It appeared to be going down at or near a 90 degree angle so the force with which it hit the ground would've practically disintegrated it. However, if there is any blessing to be found in something like this, it's that in all likelihood nobody on board was conscious for most of the descent. It's being reported that they believe this plane was falling at a rate of over 500 feet per second. The force of that would render any living thing on board unconscious in seconds. It's possible that they may have never even known there was a problem, but we'll have to wait and see what the investigation uncovers.

The black box has been found! Hope the investigation goes well and give their families results and hopefully a little peace of mind.
