A new video shows the moment a plane crashes into a mountainside, causing a huge forest fire.

The horrifying footage shows the plane taking a nosedive into a mountainous area after it lost contact with air traffic control. There was fire and smoke at the crash site.

The plane plummeted for a total of 2 minutes after cruising at 29,000 feet. The last data contact with the plane was at 3,200 feet, after the pilots pulled out of the dive around 10,000 feet.

China Eastern Airlines activated the emergency mechanism, dispatched a working group to the scene, and opened a special line for emergency assistance to family members, according to a statement released by the airline.

The Chinese President ordered a search and rescue operation after the crash.

If anyone survived, it would be a miracle.
