Search continues for crash victims


Rescuers scoured heavily forested mountain slopes in southern China looking for victims and flight recorders from a China Eastern Airlines passenger jet that crashed with 132 people on board.

Parts of the Boeing 737-800 were strewn among trees charred by fire after China’s first crash of a commercial jetliner since 2010. Burnt remains of identity cards and wallets were also seen, state media said.
