It seems that the best source for up-to-date info on the crash of the China Northern MD-82 is at http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/index.htm So far, they are saying that the MD-82 crashed 20 miles off Dalian into the sea. 30 boats are now on the scene participating in the rescue effort. 50 bodies (out of 103 pax and 9 crew) have so far been recovered. 8 foreigners were on board. The airline's website is currently down www.cna.com.cn
