China Eastern is no longer using all 106 Boeing 737-800s for the time being​

In the aftermath of the fatal accident, the airline China Eastern Airlines decided not to use the Boeing 737-800 aircraft for the time being. The carrier will leave all 106 copies on the ground as a precaution. It is currently unclear how long this measure will last. However, the carrier announced that all identical Boeing 737s would be checked before they could be used again.

It is now clear that there were 1791 passengers and nine crew members on board the B-123. The first official information from China said that 133 people died. However, it turned out that one passenger did not board the flight or missed it and this was fortunate for him because he is alive. China Eastern extends its deepest regrets and condolences to all family members.

It is still completely unclear why B-1791 lost altitude in a very short time and ultimately crashed. The Chinese Civil Aviation Authority confirmed, among other things, the crash and the fact that contact with the cockpit crew was lost immediately before the fatal loss. One does not want to speculate about the cause of the crash and refers to the aircraft accident investigation that has already been initiated. It is hoped that cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders will provide a first clue as to what happened in the final minutes of flight MU5735. Due to the severity of the impact, the devices could have been damaged, but this does not mean that they can no longer be evaluated. It just might take longer.

The crash of the China Eastern Airlines plane caused a fire on the ground in a mountainous forest area, officials said. This is said to have been successfully contained and extinguished by the local fire brigade.

So, is Gazprom soon going to demand Europe pay for Russian gas in rubles instead of Euros?

"Putin: "By freezing Russian reserves, the collective West has defaulted on Russia and drawn a line under the reliability of its currencies"; says Gazprom will be converting payments for gas supplies to Europe into rubles as soon as possible"

This is big if true. Iran should share the data with Russia and China, so that counter-measures can be developed to deal with this threat.
