A model of plane considered one of the safest in the world was struck by a Boeing plane in China on Monday.
There were 132 people on the China Eastern Airlines flight from Kunming Changshui International Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airpor.
There is no information about the cause of the crash or whether there are survivors.
One of the most used plane models on the planet is the Boeing 737, which is considered to be one of the safest.
The China Eastern Airlines plane that crashed on Monday was a newer version of the Boeing plane.
According to a report, the Boeing'sNG models of the737 have one of the best safety records of any plane.
There have been 11 fatal accidents of the 7,000 planes that have been used.
The plane has been in operation for 25 years and has an excellent safety record, according to the director of air safety and insurance at the company.
I am not going to speculate on what happened, but if the logs are accurate, something seems to have happened abruptly and the plane nose dived from cruising altitude.
The data showed a sudden descent from 29,000 ft.
AirSafe ranked the plane as one of the safest in the world.
The crash rate of the Boeing plane models is 0.24 crashes per million flights.
It crashes at a rate of 0.46 crashes per million flights for the A300 and 1.35 crashes per million flights for the A310.
It is a lower rate than other Boeing plane models.
In January 2010, an Ethiopia Airlines Boeing plane crashed into the sea with no survivors, and in March 2016 a Southwest Airlines Boeing plane made an emergency landing.
