China has recalled/grounded all of its 737 800 fleet. | zqwerty (97) | ||

See here: "Without access to data stored onboard the plane’s so-called black box recorders, investigators can’t determine exactly how or why the jet crashed. But preliminary data from flight tracker website Flightradar24 indicates that, at about 100 miles from its destination and just as the Boeing 737 should have begun a controlled descent, the aircraft lurched into a nosedive, plummetting from its cruising altitude of 29,100 feet to 3,225 feet, its last known signal, in just over a minute and a half. Flightradar24 data suggests flight MU5735 hurtled towards earth at a rate of over 30,000 feet per minute. In a still-unexplained twist, Flightradar24’s data shows that, after falling for over 40 seconds, the plane halted its nose-dive and began to climb again, regaining 1,000 feet in roughly 10 seconds, before plunging once more." From here: fortune.com dumb media. if you look at the actual flighttracker it doesn't show any leveling off, just a fairly straight run down. d3lcr32v2pp4l1.cloudfront.net |

| 1485081 | 2022-03-23 04:38:00 | Latest news is observers said the plane appeared undamaged whilst vertical diving into the ground. Black boxes still to be found, strangely no bodies, but a fair amount of clothes and usual debris around the site. Presumably most of the heavy solid bits ie engines will be buried underground since it was a vertical dive and not a landing whilst not powered. Also strange the fact that debris was spread over a large area is hard to understand as the plane was coming in to land and probably had not much fuel onboard, and it was a vertical crash so why the large area of spread? Maybe they were pulling out of the dive in the last few seconds? Doesn't seem likely from that video however. your not finding bodies after hitting at that speed. they just explode on impact. impact area didn't look all that big. it depends a fair bit on angle it hits the ground at. remember they are hitting the side of a mountain so angle can vary a lot. |

| 1485082 | 2022-03-23 22:08:00 | Looking on flightradar at the number of planes in the air at any one time particularly in the northern hemisphere - there are thousands and probably half of them are Boeing including military aircraft. The death of people from a plane crash is always going to be tragic but needs to be put into perspective. Not sure what time Pres Biden is flying to Poland on Friday but it will be interesting to watch the increased USAF and NATO presence in the air which already has stratotankers, surveillance, and other aircraft continually flying over Poland, Romania and the Black Sea. | bellbird (6169) | ||

| 1485088 | 2022-03-24 01:49:00 | www.bbc.com Note the flight path diagram at the end of the page, the kink. Also: graphics.reuters.com "The flight that crashed instead began a rapid descent to 7,425 feet before recovering briefly to 8,600 feet and then went into another dive, Flightradar24 data showed. The last tracked altitude was 3,225 feet above sea level." China has more 737-800 planes than any other country in the world also the youngest fleet of the aircraft. |
