New Delhi/ Beijing | Jagran News Desk: No survivors have been found till now in the wreckage of the ill-fated Boeing 737-800 aircraft that crashed in China's Guangxi region on March 21, said Chinese state broadcaster CCTV on Tuesday.

"Wreckage of the plane was found at the scene, but up until now, none of those aboard the plane with whom contact was lost have been found," said CCTV, adding that hundreds of rescuers are scurrying the mountains to collect the debris and find survivors.

The Boeing 737-800 belonged to the China Eastern Airlines. It was flying to the industrial center of Guangzhou from Kunming in the southwestern province of Yunnan. The crash, however, shattered China's airlines record of over 100 million continuous hours of safe flight as of February 19.

It has also brought back the memomries of the Heilongjiang crash in China in 2010, when an Embraer passenger plane crashed in Yichun, killing 42 people.
