According to Tang (2019) this aircraft had collided with another C-47 registered 332. By contrast, the obituary of one of the deceased airmen (Jiaqi LU, a pilot of 326) claimed that his plane was shot down by anti-aircraft weaponry. The former statement is adopted here, since it was proposed in a formal publication.

Tang (2019) wrote that a total of seven crew members died in the crashes of the two C-47 planes, but did not specify the number of occupants aboard each aircraft.
