A China Express Airlines Canadair CRJ-900, registration B-3371 performing flight G5-2683 from Hohhot to Tongliao (China) with 85 passengers and 8 crew, was on final approach descending through 30 feet AGL when both engines were shut down. The aircraft touched down without power, brakes operated in abnormal mode without anti-skid causing all main tyres to burst during the roll out disabling the aircraft on the runway. There were no injuries, the aircraft sustained damage to all 4 main tyres and main wheels.

In an internal safety brief to their crew the airline instructed their pilots to not put their hands below the throttle handles while operating the throttles.

China's aviation fora therefore raise the suspicion that the pilot flying accidentally moved the engine shut off lock levers while pulling the throttles back to idle for the flare.
