Beijing, March 22 (PTI) Over a day after a passenger aircraft with 132 people on board crashed in south China, a Chinese official announced on Tuesday that no survivors have been found, official media here reported.
No survivors have been found in the China plane crash, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted a Chinese official in a brief report.

People on-board the aircraft are still unaccounted for as the rescue work is underway at the mountainous site, state television CGTN reported on Tuesday over 24-hours after China's worst air disaster in a decade.
