I wonder what the rate of descent was in this case and how many miles it went once it began? |
The data is on flightaware. It didn't go far once the descent began, and it fell as fast as 30k ft/minute once it started. It either lost power to one engine first (Dan Gryders theory) and went into an immediate spiral or lost airspeed until it stalled/spun in.
Gryder makes a good case for it not being hypoxia, but I still think/hope it was.
