A video circulating online in China showed a cloud of smoke rising from a wooded area. Other images showed debris strewn across walking paths. All seem to be taken with cell phone cameras. There was no way to check their veracity.

Teng is a remote region about 190 miles from Guangzhou. There were reports of a forest fire after the crash, which seemed to be corroborated by the videos spreading on social media.

State media quoted Chinese President Xi Jinping as saying that there will be an investigation into the country's aviation standards.
