China Eastern Airlines Plane Crash Rescuers Find No Survivors

HONG KONG—An army of rescuers in southern China found no sign of survivors after spending Tuesday combing through wreckage at the site where a China Eastern Airlines Corp. Boeing 737 carrying 132 people plummeted to the ground a day earlier.

More than 2,500 rescuers had descended on the scene of the crash by Tuesday evening, local officials told reporters at a live-streamed press briefing. They collected identification cards, a wallet and the shredded remains of a school textbook, among other items that may have belonged to the passengers, according to footage and photos published by state media.
