The main crash area, now a barren pit in the forested mountainside, is about half the size of a football field.
One of the China Eastern Airlines plane's two “black box" flight recorders was found Wednesday. The search was temporarily suspended due to a downpour.
Debris is scattered over a wide area that includes the other side of the mountain, state broadcaster CCTV said. “We cannot have a clear assessment of the cause of the accident with the information currently available,” Zhu said Tuesday at a news conference.
