No survivors found after China Eastern Airlines plane crash; investigations hampered by severe damage to aircraft: China’s aviation authority

"Up to now, search and rescue work has not found any survivors," Zhu Tao, director of aviation safety at the Civil Aviation Administration of China told reporters in the first official comments on the likelihood of all passengers dying in the air disaster.

Rescuers combed heavily forested mountain slopes in southern China on Tuesday, using shovels and torches in their hunt for victims and flight recorders. Flight MU5735 was headed on Monday for the port city of Guangzhou from Kunming, capital of the southwestern province of Yunnan, when it plunged from cruising altitude to crash in the mountains of Guangxi less than an hour before landing time.
