China has found 183 pieces of debris from the China Eastern Airlines jet that crashed, including engine blades and turbine parts, with most of the wreckage in an area 30 metres around the main impact point, Chinese officials said on Thursday.
The priority now is search and rescue, said Zhu Tao, an official from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), at a news conference, when asked if U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators would be invited to take part in investigations.
