alsemanche 97,796 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The footage of the crash is terrifying to say the least. I hope there will be survivors but by the looks of it, I doubt there are any. This is very, very tragic. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appeared to be going down at or near a 90 degree angle so the force with which it hit the ground would've practically disintegrated it. However, if there is any blessing to be found in something like this, it's that in all likelihood nobody on board was conscious for most of the descent. It's being reported that they believe this plane was falling at a rate of over 500 feet per second. The force of that would render any living thing on board unconscious in seconds. It's possible that they may have never even known there was a problem, but we'll have to wait and see what the investigation uncovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
