梧州,3月22日 -- 3月21日14时38分许,东方航空公司MU5735航班从昆明飞往广州途中,在广西梧州市上空失联并坠毁。机上载有乘客123人、机组人员9人。

WUZHOU, March 22 -- China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735, en route from Kunming to Guangzhou, lost contact and crashed in Wuzhou city of South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region at 14:38 on March 21. There were 123 passengers and 9 crew members on board.

南部战区,梧州军分区、武警梧州支队第一时间组织救援力量赶赴事故现场展开救援。陆军某陆航旅、空军某运搜旅以及武警驻事发地周边力量等迅速完成备勤,随时准备支援。

The PLA Southern Theater Command launched the emergency response mechanism at the news. The PLA Wuzhou Military Sub-command, as well as the Wuzhou Detachment of the Chinese People’s Armed Police (PAP) Force, both dispatched rescue forces to the scene of the accident without one-minute delay.

Meanwhile, an army aviation brigade, a transport and rescue brigade of the air force, and the armed police troops stationed around the accident site promptly completed their preparation and stood ready for duty.

21日晚间,飞机坠落引发的山火已全部扑灭,并已经找到失事飞机的部分残骸和碎片,但尚未发现机上失联人员。现场应急救援力量搭建临时指挥所2个,对飞机失事地点周边进行搜救和现场保护。

On the evening of March 21, the wildfire caused by the plane crash had been put out, and parts of the wreckage and debris of the plane had been found. But sadly, there had been no news of the missing personnel. On-site emergency rescue forces have set up two temporary command posts for search and rescue and conducted on-site protection around the crash site.

2日凌晨,各相关部门经过通宵作业,仍在继续搜救工作。应急指挥部现场启用无人机参与救援,并开通无人机移动基站,保持24小时驻空。

In early hours of March 22, the relevant units were continuing search and rescue work after overnight operations. The temporary command post used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for search and rescue, and set up a UAV-mounted base station to provide 24-hour communication support.

截至发稿时,现场救援、善后处置及事故原因调查等工作正在进行中。

As of press time, on-site rescue, aftermath disposal and accident investigation were still in progress.
