What would it take for you to fully trust Boeing again?
, China's aviation safety record has been among the world's best over the past decade. The last fatal plane accident in the country occurred in 2010 when 44 people out of 96 passengers were killed when an Embraer E-190 flown by Henan Airlines crashes due to poor visibility. Chinese state media has reported that China Eastern Airlines grounded all 737-800 planes following the crash.It's worth highlighting that aviation safety has greatly improved in recent years.
Initial reports from the Boeing 737-800, unfortunately, seem to suggest that it is very unlikely rescue teams will find survivors. The aircraft reportedly caused a forest fire after it descended sharply and then went down in the mountainous region of southern China. Investigators are now looking to recover the flight data recorder from the cockpit voice recorder to attain more information regarding the cause of the crash.
