It takes an advanced degree in physics to know that a plane smashing into the ground at a 90 degree angle from 29,000 feet would kill every passenger.

Thanks for the explanation, JD. I obviously didn’t read the article (ashamed to say).

Straight down from 29,000+ feet is a long, long time to realize you’ll soon be dead.

I could “confirm” their deaths when I saw the plane hit the mountainside nearly vertical at warp 10. Stupid title.

There was no one inside the 2nd black box. I heard a comedian ask, “the next time I fly, can they put ME in the black box?”

"Was there any doubt...straight down at 5-600 knots? "

Yes, there is doubt. At that speed, there is a tremendous amount of lift on the wings. That lift would pull it out of a dive, unless there is a lot of force on the controls. If the airplane were coming directly toward the camera, it would still look like it was going straight down. It could have still been at a steep dive, but likely not straight down.

Thanks, this proves my point when you realize the distortion in the image. It’s 6 miles top-to-bottom, and hundreds of miles side-to-side.
