I think Shep just said something very troubling. A steep and controlled decent.

Did anyone else hear him say that???

AFP: Plane was at 5,000 feet - Alain Vidalies, minister of state for transport, said: “A distress call was registered at 10:47. The distress signal showed the plane was at 5,000 feet in an abnormal situation.”

The crash happened shortly after the distress signal, he said.

The only thing Shep knows about steep and controlled decent is from the last man kneeling before him.

Just be cautious....we are in the media hysteria phase of the story where misinformation runs rampant.

They were talking about this possibility on the news, but a pilot they were interviewing said the descent appears to have been too slow, compared to Air France Flight 447, for that to be the case.

Sky news reports: Flight-tracking data indicated the aircraft plummeted from 40,000ft to 6,200ft in the space of 10 minutes before it crashed.

Smells like muslims.

A bit premature to come to that conclusion, but it wouldn't surprise me.

SKY News: Anthony Davis, aviation journalist, told Sky News: “The log suggests (the plane) went straight down at a significant rate, up to 5,000 feet per minute at one point, which suggests it happened in a matter of seconds.

“It is unlikely the passengers on board would have known anything about this.

”As far as I am aware that the pilots did not send a typical distress call, a squawk of 770.

“They simply said emergency, emergency.”

Pilot on Fox said, if she was at controls the first thing she would have done is to attempt to gain altitude. Altitude is time.

This is why we need to look at the flight data recorder and cockpit recorder data. AND especially look at the remains of the plane for chemical residue from an explosive device.
