What Made MU5735 Fall Out Of The Sky? Footage Of China's MU5735 Airline Nosediving To The Ground.


What made MU5735 fall out of the sky? Catastrophic 'loss of control event' made Chinese Boeing 737 with 132 people aboard nosedive suddenly from 30,000ft and smash into a mountainside in China with 'no survivors' 

A Boeing 737 carrying 132 people that plummeted 30,000ft to the ground and burst into flames in China suffered a catastrophic 'loss of control event', experts have warned. The China Eastern Airlines flight nosedived before smashing into the hillside and erupting in a huge fireball near the city of Wuzhou in Teng county in the southern province of Guangxi - with no sign of survivors. A rescue official reportedly said the plane had completely disintegrated while a fire sparked by the crash ripped through bamboo and trees before being put out.Horrifying CCTV footage emerged on social media supposedly showing the jet racing vertically towards the ground in the moments before the smash. President Xi Jinping said that he was 'shocked' by the incident and immediately ordered an investigation into the cause. It is not yet clear what forced the sudden dip and crash, but aviation experts told MailOnline it may have been 'a loss of control event, possibly following a high altitude stall of the aircraft' or a sensory failure in the cockpit. The plane, flight number MU5735 from Kunming to Guangzhou, is believed to be a Boeing 737-89P, which is not part of the MAX series that has been dogged by problems in recent years. 


The crash will renew calls for China to make its aviation safety record - which is considered good but allegedly sees an underreporting of safety lapses - more transparent. China's Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) said the aircraft lost contact over the city of Wuzhou. It had 123 passengers and nine crew on board. State media said earlier there were 133 people on board. The CAAC said in a statement: 'The CAAC has activated the emergency mechanism and sent a working group to the scene.' The Aviation Safety Network said: 'We are following multiple unconfirmed reports about a possible accident involving China Eastern Airlines flight #MU5735 a Boeing 737-89P (B-1791) en route from Kunming to Guangzhou, China.' President Xi said: 'We are shocked to learn of the China Eastern MU5735 accident. Source
