So sad Andy.

Very sad for this, its not just the 123 & 9 crew that lost their lives, its everyone associated with them that has also lost

 

[SJGUSMC21]

Very sorry Andy.

Sorry to see a crash like that anywhere. This one seems kind of strange though. Flying at normal cruising altitude then basically straight down into the ground. Whatever happened it was catastrophic.

The plane looks like lost of power, and drop very fast. Here has a video by the nearby mine CCTV system

If true, it was a straight vertical

Terrible loss of life. Maybe the black box will shed some light on what happened. The vertical drop looks strange to me

737-800 can glide for 90+ miles while being 30,000 ft up with no engine power.

From the way this plane dropped its altitude, my guess it's a sudden mechanical failure (like lost of rudder control in the 90's) or intentional human act.
