Harrowing images from Chinese Eastern plane crash site show charred personal belongings

Dozens of rescuers rummaged through the rubble today, on the remote Chinese mountainside where China Eastern Flight 5735 mysteriously fell from the sky, carrying 132 people. Devastating images show the charred personal belongings from the wreckage of the China Eastern plane that fell from the sky on Monday, with still no sign of any survivors. Terrifying footage captured the plane's free-fall toward the ground and the subsequent fiery crash. Identity cards, bank cards and wallets were among the items located near the crash site in the southern region of Guangxi, China's state media said. According to New York Post reports , search teams used their hands, picks, sniffer dogs and drones to look for survivors on both sides of the mountain into which the plane crashed. According to Zhu, efforts were now focused on finding the plane's black box, which holds the flight data and cockpit voice recorders as officials try to establish the cause of the crash. Li Xiaojin, a Chinese aviation expert, added: "Usually the plane is on auto-pilot during cruise stage. So it is very hard to fathom what happened."
