This is the first time I see a real airplane crash, and not some CGI simulation, the sheer speed of that aircraft is crazy to witness.

    The last adsb ping had it descending at > 30000 feet per minute. That means they were traveling over 300 mph straight down. I've read about a large number of aviation accidents, and this is the first time I've ever seen vertical speeds that extreme.

    Yeah this is a crazy accident. They basically plummeted from cruising altitude. The audio is devastating to hear.

    Yeah, I was not ready for that audio. It happened so fast, but you could still tell how aware the pilots were of how unrecoverable the situation was. RIP, they didn't deserve to go out like that.

    Didn't that last hijacking attempt have then at -30000ft/min for a few seconds. This plane lost the horizontal stabilizer and the hijacked plan landed with no control surface on the vertical stabilizer.
