A China Eastern Airlines passenger plane carrying 133 people has crashed in southwest China, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
There was no information about any casualties in the incident on Monday as yet.
The Boeing 737 plane crashed in the countryside near Wuzhou city in the Guangxi region. It “caused a mountain fire”, CCTV said, adding that rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.
There was no word on the cause of the crash of the plane, which Flightradar24 identified as a 6-year-old 737-800 aircraft.

Boeing 737 again
We the people of internetlandia need to know the passager manifest ASAP .
Thanks Obama!
The way that thing has come down looks like a pilot has aimed it like a torpedo head first into the ground. Looks like some kind of sabotage to me.
Such a profoundly sad tragedy. My condolences to the families.
Death is so Brutal..
stop getting on Boeing planes.
Most probably everyone on it is dead.
Will someone confirm a mayday transmission was issued (Y/N) ? Or any phone transactions from the passengers? In the absence of a mayday – or any cabin / crew texts etc – then investigators look-for an explosive decompression (bomb or mid-air collision impact) – lets hope and pray no intentional cabin piloted suicide event. Prayers to all affected – its a very sad dayWill someone confirm a mayday transmission was issued (Y/N) ? Or any phone transactions from the passengers?

Must have been terrifying. So sad.
I cant understand why airlines still invest in 737s. They have had such a chequered history from the beginning. I recon its as dodgy as the DC-8, DC-10 and the MD-11. But I always hear people say that the 737 is one of the safest. (yeah right…) I don’t fly much but when I do I choose flights that don’t fly 737s. Have always done it and will always do.
You realize that there are more a320 crashes than 737ng crashes right
Flew Here We Got Charted… Shawty She So Raw I M….
This is heartbreaking to see!
Rest in peace to all the people onboard this flight
I hope they locate the black box soon. My deepest condolence to all victims’ families.
132 people
Very gud!
Phuggging Uyghur or any China hater
aahahaahahahahThis has been confirmed as a 737 800 max. They will keep falling out of the skies… Get on one… Have the ride of the end of your life ! hahahahahahhaha They enjoyed !
the 737MAX8 is verry diferent from the 737-800NG
Not a Max, do some research before you let the world know how informed you actually are.
😭😭😭
The “mountain fire” is not the true scene shot, it was a another fire happend in fujian province. It has been clarified.
Way it went down didn’t look good God have mercy on their souls
Vertical nosedive while cruising = 99.99% terrorist act.

*”When Rusia Take Their Land From Nato0+Ukraine… Covid19&Omicron dissapear from the world… why ??? Because U.S.A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON mass production was destroyed on ukraine”*
737
So sad and sorry for the loss of life, may they Rest In Peace and give strengths to their loved ones. I hope this is not another 737max problem
First of all, it’s 123 passenger with 9 staffs. 123+9=132 aboard. Where the 133 comes from?????
Boeing plane again !
God be with you
I rather have my 2 feet on the ground than on the sky 20,000′ high
Don’t think about it when you travel with air craft.
Ban Boeing
You’d have to be brave at this point in life to get on a 737
Don’t buy US plane because US can control plane down. US dislike China so US will control plane to destroy China
very sad
I heard it carried 132 instead of 133 people.
one guy didn’t get on this plane because ncov-2019
Am boarding a plane tomorrow..🤦🏻♂️Maybe I shouldn’t be watching this
Very saf
RIP🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
CIA ? Someone with very important information was on board.
Wait… The 737 again…. hopefully this is not that same model boeing had all the problems with
Surprise surprise it’s another Boeing 737.
My deepest condolences to the families of victims.
😢🇵🇰
Prayers and condolences to the family of victims from Pakistan 🙏
One side, people losing lives by accidents, natural calamities and drug addiction.
Another side, dictatorship (sadistical) rulers massacre (indiscriminate slaughterers of large number of people, mainly prey are islamic people).
In the mid, man made war (without strong reason, poor and helpless people losing their lives in large numbers, recent example: Afghanistan, Ukraine/Russia).
I have to as a esteem and reponsible media as AI Jazeera , the map of China that you showed in media witout Taiwan is seriously Violating China ‘territorial integrity！！！
Many people died in Ukraine. China supports the killings in Ukraine.
Does not looks like crash, its like terror attack, no plane will fall in perpendicular direction untill unless the pilot wantedly dids it.
Local people said that because the ✈️ is in front of the bustling town, the Captain has judged that it can not be saved back, directly dive into the barren mountains, there is no way to save the passengers, can only protect the safety of people on the ground.😣🙏🙏🙏
We are with chinese family in the worst time…from Pakistan
Given the track record of politicians around the world specially that particular race in that particular region. It’s an act of war but I’m just a guy with a piano.
Was thos older 737 or737 max
People still die regardless of your border closure .. Xi the fucktard
Do you tell American Boeing 737 is very frequently crashed and American stopped using Boeing 737 since 3 years ago.
No 132 people cmon news
why always BOEING??
Very sad news.🇦🇺
Plane was U.S made but west controlled & paid media will never highlight that
Who’s god in china?
vertical falling is very wired 🙏
Horrific, heart goes out to all the families effected. What a horrible day 🙁
Flying coffin Boeing airplane ✈
Support to the people of China 😞😞
Putin shot it down
So sad 😞
Let’s repent the Nations of the earth heaven is calling everyone to get back to righteousness..
Let’s hope they’re OK.
Please MARK Taiwan in China territory as well on your map show.
RIP, all. Amen 🙏
The world should stop using Boeing planes and switch to Airbus planes.
Al Jazeera was once a voice of voiceless but today has become part of global cabal news network!
Awful tragedy and regards to All those people Alive and well.
Why is that? Boeing cost many people their lives over and over again?
Very sorry for this. Was it a 737 Max? Did Boeing not fix the MCAS problem?
Very sad, may God bless everyone. Ameen
Luckily it crashed into mountains, it could have been a lot worse, by crashing into urban areas
Pilot suicide?
WHY is no one talking about the fact the 737NG is simply the 737 MAX renamed with a few extra bells and whistles. This is the same plane that kept going down a few years ago.
132， inaccurate figure.
Boeing 737-800. Stopped the security aviation record of 11 years.
Nothing “breaking” here. News media gets all excited when people are killed and it’s sickening to watch,
Cheers
then why watch them you doofus?
Nothing in the news is good anymore!
I can’t control my emotions why all these happening what is the answer will be given to the awaited families. Merciful God almighty please it’s enough for us to endure
The number is 132 actually
Ucrainian dieing in thousand,and people talking of the political plot
Prayers to the families and the lost souls🙏
Could be pilot suicide. Its abnormal for a plane to dive in near 90 deg in full power.
Might a high altitude Russian drone be the culprit?
What’s so sad.
So many crashes lately in fact up 900 percent since the VACCINES.
So sad for the pilots who have been FORCED.
Heartbreaking 🥺😢
Netflix has a Documentary called Downfall: the case against Boeing it covers issues with this aircraft.
Karma is a b!tch indeed
Rescuing who?
But the profile pilot was not found who’s name?
RIP to the people who lost their lives 🙏
May God give strength to the loved ones of those who perished 🙏
was there a muslim on board?
This is terrible 😭
This sucks 😢
another 737 boeing i hope it’s not lionair.
The pion 737 should be banned from the world because its crashes have increased and there are no survivors. Look at the Ethiopian Airlines plane that killed 157 people.
