CCTV footage captured the shocking moment a passenger plane crashed into a mountain in southern China.
Video filmed in the city of Wuzhou in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region March 21, shows a China Eastern Airlines plane carrying 132 people falling out of the sky.
The CCTV footage was from Wuzhou Beichen Mining Co. LTD which is only 5.8 kilometres away from Molang Village where the plane crashed, reports Reuters.
There were 123 passengers and nine crew members on board the Boeing 737-800 when the incident happened.
The number of casualties was not immediately known, state broadcaster CCTV said. There was no word on the cause of the crash.

A witness named Li said he saw the plane falling out of the sky when he was driving at around 2 pm on Monday (March 21).
Rescuers have been dispatched and the numbers of casualties and injured are unknown.
The flight departed the southwestern city of Kunming at 1:11pm (0511 GMT), FlightRadar24 data showed, and had been due to land in Guangzhou, on the south coast, at 3:05pm (0705 GMT).
