China announced on March 24 that it had found human remains and wreckage of the plane that crashed with 132 people on board. At the same time, the regime removed the reports with details about the victims, the airlines cutting maintenance costs, and possible reasons for the crash.

On Thursday, rescue workers continued searching for possible survivors. In the rain, rescuers found a piece of aircraft wreckage in a farmer’s field about 6.2 miles from the site the plane plummeted into. They then decided to expand the search area.
