NDTV
Investigators are still sifting through evidence to understand why the Boeing 737-800 NG plane carrying 132 people crashed in southern China on Monday.
Pilots of the doomed China Eastern Flight 5735 failed to respond to multiple calls from Chinese air-traffic controllers after tipping into a deadly nosedive, authorities said at a press conference on Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported.
Air traffic controllers received no response to their repeated calls, an official with China's Civil Aviation Administration said at a press briefing.
The plane disappeared from radar screens at 2:23 pm local time, three minutes after it started a steep descent, the official, Zhu Tao, said at the end of the first full day of searching through the wreckage.
Based on current information, Chinese officials are unable to make a clear judgment about the cause of Monday's crash, Zhu said. The ongoing investigation will be difficult, he said, describing a devastating impact and hilly terrain in the search area.
