A Boeing 737 plane carrying over 133 people has crashed in mountains in China, with smoke seen billowing from the scene.

The Aviation Safety Network tweeted:

We are following multiple unconfirmed reports about a possible accident involving China Eastern Airlines flight #MU5735 a Boeing 737-89P (B-1791) en route from Kunming to Guanghzou, China.

Flight data claimed to be from the flight shows the plane dropped from 24 000 to the ground in just minutes, giving the crew little time to react to whatever the issue was.

The country’s last major plane accident was in August 2010, when a flight from Harbin crashed in north-east Yichun during foggy weather, killing 42 people.
