===Airplane crash=== {{main|1931 Jinan Air Crash}} On 19 November 1931, Xu prepared to leave [[Nanjing|Nanking]] to attend a lecture given by Lin Huiyin at a university in [[Beijing|Peking]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cctv.cntv.cn/lm/journeysintime/special/liangsicheng_linhuiyin/index.shtml|title=Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, CNTV English, CCTV News}}</ref> He boarded a [[China Airways Federal]] [[Stinson Detroiter]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gregcrouch.com/2010/stinson-detroiter|title = Stinson Detroiter|date = 12 December 2010}}</ref> an aircraft contracted by [[Chunghwa Post]] to deliver airmail on the Nanjing-Beijing route.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnac.org/history01.htm|title=CNAC History}}</ref> However, when the flight arrived in the Jinan area, the flight encountered severe fog, leaving the pilot with no clear view to land. The plane descended into the mountainous area below unnoticed as both the pilots were looking for the course according to the map. When the aircraft was aiming to turn left to go back to the course again, it hit the peak of a mountain and broke off the right wing. The plane spun out of control and crashed into the mountains near [[Jinan]] City and [[Tai'an]] City, in [[Shandong]] province.<ref name="eb2011"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://cctv.cntv.cn/lm/journeysintime/20110617/107447.shtml|title=Lin Huiyin & Xu Zhimo}}</ref> Xu Zhimo, who suffered from fatal [[cerebral trauma]] and several cuts on his body, was killed instantly as well as one of the two pilots.<ref>{{Cite web |last=齐鲁晚报 |date= |title=Poet Xu Zhimo killed in air crash |url=https://www.chinanews.com.cn/cul/2011/12-01/3499336.shtml}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://wenku.baidu.com/link?url=W5CnL9XIXqD0CtRrP7Bnj--tyOua4QyHmhXhlGQ1cIh9-VJN4Y0yvNMM147nXHZM2-b-CfHDSYkVJGcECdXZsKWGatI4KCtMuZViMC2hAVS|title = 徐志摩济南开山坠机始末 – 百度文库}}</ref> The first officer survived the initial impact, but also perished due to the delay in rescue. The accident was attributed to both pilots' misjudgement of the flight's altitude as well as their failure to recognize the terrain. However, it was rumoured that Xu was murdered,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://zhidao.baidu.com/question/312453739.html|title=徐志摩的死是意外吗_百度知道}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_647eb0960102w0fj.html|title = 镶嵌在心底的美丽(2015)34·悄悄的我走了_胖企鹅杨_新浪博客}}</ref> although this was confirmed to be untrue.
