Data published by FlightRadar24, a flight tracking tool, showed the pilot’s attempt to regain control of the plane on China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735 on March 21.

According to FlightRadar 24 data, the Boeing 737-800 carrying 132 people was flying at an altitude of about 8,800 m before suddenly decreasing altitude at 2:20 pm on March 21 local time.

After falling for about 20 seconds, the plane’s speed gradually slowed down and for the next 45 seconds, the plane continued to fall until it was at an altitude of about 2,260 m above the ground.

However, about 15 seconds later, while at an altitude of about 2,620 m, the plane continued to fall a second time. In the next 30 seconds, the plane crashed to the ground, in a mountainous area in Wuzhou city,

The last data was sent by the plane at 14:22 on March 21 at an altitude of about 982 m.

The video, widely spread on Chinese social networks, shows that the plane in distress crashed almost vertically.

FlightRadar24 said its data is collected `directly from the aircraft’s computer and figures vary depending on the aircraft’s sensors`.

The moment a Chinese plane carrying 132 people plummeted into the mountain

According to aviation expert Sally Gethin, when a plane plummets vertically to the ground at high speed, too much pressure will cause blood to rush to the brain and make the pilot temporarily unconscious.

However, the pilot’s attempt to save the plane was unsuccessful, as the plane continued to dive a second time and crashed to the ground.

Zhu Tao, an official with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, said air traffic controllers repeatedly tried to contact the pilots on the plane after it went down, but received no response from them.

China has not yet announced the cause of the plane crash carrying 132 people.

According to Bloomberg, all 123 passengers and nine crew members are believed to have died.
