The China Eastern jet crash in a mountainous patch of the country’s south is both a tragedy and mystery. All 132 on board are presumed dead. The passengers included the chief financial officer of Dinglong Culture, a Guangdong-based entertainment company, a newlywed and a party of six traveling to a funeral. Nothing seemed strange before the Boeing 737-800 fell out of the sky at nearly the speed of sound just 100 miles from its destination. The weather was fine. Flight MU5735 was cruising at about 29,000 feet (8,839 meters). The plane halted its descent for some 10 seconds, and even climbed briefly, before its final downward spiral, Flightradar24 said. A video taken by a nearby mining company showed the plane intact until its final moments.
