Report confirmed 132 fatalities. So there are survivors? Since they didn't mention all onboard perished. Very vague reporting, to my mind.

I thoight initially it was pilot error flying into the mountain in fog until i saw a footage of the pklne actually nose dived. Like a kamikaze zero fighter.

Whilst this is just speculation and not really a conspiracy theory, this is an interesting take on the possible cause(s) of the crash.
If true, it will be very damaging for Chinese aviation.

Apparently it is a case of revenge with a heavy collateral damage.
Pilot went kamikaze as he was demoted unfairly in his yearly pilot exam. His co-pilot at the time incidentally was the son of the examiner that got him (the pilot) demoted.
