Officials investigating China's worst air disaster in more than a decade are trying to discover why a Boeing 737-800 NG plane suddenly fell from the sky Monday and crashed on a mountainside in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
There were no survivors among the 132 people on China Eastern flight MU5735. The investigation is proving difficult because of the severe damage to the plane, which left only scattered wreckage, an official at the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said Tuesday at a briefing.
