Beijing — A China Eastern passenger jet carrying 132 people crashed in southern China on Monday, aviation authorities said. China's state-run media said the crash led to a fire on a mountain and an unknown number of casualties.

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. An earlier state media report had said there were 133 people on board.”

Major accidents like this are always heartbreaking. From the pictures I saw in the news this morning it doesn’t look like there were any survivors.

According to the local Seattle news this aircraft has been flying with China Eastern for more than 6 years and was delivered in June 2015. Boeing’s stock was down 6% this morning.

There you go. You just identified three different things you could potentially debate. So go for it. Or you could just keep debating whether there's anything to debate. Or you could just go away. Your choice. Isn't freedom great?

It appears no debate was intended. Oh well.
 
Just saw a video purportedly of the crash showing the plane plummeting straight down into the ground.
