Worth noting this was not a 737 MAX.
Got to see the video auto playing without warning yesterday while looking at news. That was fun. There are a few others, but yeah. There was a near crash in the 70s-80s with a long (20k feet?) vertical dive. It was described as deeply traumatic by the passengers, being essentially pinned against the seat while flying at the ground.

I'd say.

Very bad landing.

No dice, Chicago. I'm giving the orders and we're coming in.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Depends on if the plane was under power and accelerating toward the ground faster than it would have been in free fall. In free fall everything falls toward the earth at roughly the same rate (making everyone feel weightless). If the pilot ramps up the engines into a powered dive, the g-force acceleration would be faster than the free fall speed pinning everyone back in their seats.
Or course if the plane lands on a treadmill, all known physics take a back seat to Holiday Inn guest speculation.Aim for the chopping block. If you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. Aim past the wood, aim through the wood.

Maybe the tinfoil hatters will find the passengers in the same place as MH370

Flying Bangkok to Chicago back in the day. The entertainment options for passengers included listening to the pilots. As we cross over Wisconsin the tower radios to our plane that due to weather delays we’re gonna have to do circles for the next 1-2 hours. The pilot responds “negative - we are inbound from BKK we have 40 minutes of fuel left. We’re coming in.”
The reply was “you’re cleared for approach”
Made me chuckle even if the pilot forgot to say “no dice”

Re whether a plane can fall from the sky without its pilots able to recognize what's happening until it's too late: Air France Flight 447 was unwittingly flown into the Atlantic ocean at an accelerating rate of 10,000 feet per minute after the planes pitot tubes — the airspeed sensors — became partially obstructed by ice:

very chilling article about that flight - the desperation and then the resignation in the cockpit…

Here's the first place my mind went..

I vote for data anomaly. It doesn’t seem physically possible for that double reversal at 8k ft to be actually what happened. But the scale of the graph is perhaps hiding some details that could make it more plausible. Maybe the black box will answer the questions, provided it survived the impact.

Wtf is up with this Chinese air crash?
It may not have been a 737 Max, but I’d bet China will find a creative way to blame Boeing.

clearly a false flag operation from CHIIINA made to look like it was from Azov battalion Nazis so China has justification to support Russia. Duh.

Look at the last sentence I wrote. That's the critical piece. US-trained pilots spend most of their simulator time dealing with emergencies. Not so much in other parts of the world.
The article I was referring to was directly related to the Asiana crash at SFO so yeah, that was South Korean.
There might be more than one...
