A Boeing 737 plane crash with over 130 passengers onboard as now caused a wildfire.

The country’s Civil Aviation Administration confirmed to NBC the crash of flight MU5735 and state media confirmed the fire in the southern region of Guangxi. Rescuers are now at the site but no casualty count is known at this point.

There are 123 passengers and nine crew members aboard the plane.

A NASA satellite image of the area shows a massive fire. Various videos of the crash and blaze have made it onto Chinese social media platforms.

A small plane crashed at a railroad crossing and was slammed into by a Metrolink train near Whiteman Airport in the Los Angeles area.

Luckily, the single engine Cessna went down close to a police station. NBC News is reporting that LAPD officers pulled the pilot from the wreckage just six seconds before the collision, which happened yesterday afternoon.

The pilot suffered minor injuries and was treated at a hospital. His plane suffered an engine failure shortly after takeoff. There are no reports of anyone on the train getting hurt.
