Look more like CGI to me.
ALL airplane surfaces generate lift. Even crashing planes. If you remove the tail surfaces and the wings, it still wouldn’t nosedive vertically. They are designed to generate lift even with the fuselage.
And if this “aircraft”has any parts of wings on the dive, it would have some horizontal component besides the vertical.
I am more inclined to agree with that point you made than not.
These aircraft are not designed to be outside the flight envelope in that attitude. If I heard an engineer say that the tail was ripped off in the gyrations the plane suffered, I wouldn’t blink an eye.
We all know a 707 did a roll once by a test pilot, and that a 727 was inverted in flight during a storm, but...those were different planes, different construction, and different times, IMO.
You might convince me to go inverted in a well built 727 flown by someone who knew what he was doing, but a 737 in any instance being inverted...ummm, no. Not me, baby.
We shall see.
That would be my guess. But it is only a guess.
29,000 feet above se level. They hit a mountain at 8000 feet......................
Losing the tail could be either cause or effect, but without the tail the center of gravity is way forward of the wings, and the horizontal stablizers in the tail are missing. Could easily lead to a nosedive.
Or the tail could have come off in the attempted recovery of level flight, from too much speed and stress.
Hmmm
Fang Fang was in the seat next to the female tennis player who accused the Central Committee member of sexual assault.
I’m hearing different opinions on whether this falling object had wings or not.
If it had wings, it will not go vertical, IMHO.
Uyghurs have layers.
They dropped 2000 feet in 16 seconds......................
indeed
Black box from ill-fated plane crash found
One of the black boxes from the ill-fated China Eastern’s Flight 5735 that crashed in the mountains on Monday has been found, an official said on Wednesday.
Investigators are still unclear whether it is the flying data or voice recorder of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft as it was severely damaged, Mao Yanfeng, director of the Civil Aviation Accident Investigation Center, told a press conference.

Why not make the plane out of the black box?
To be fair, if one is going to speculate about missiles, gotta consider those taken up to the altitude of the airliner - a shoot-down.
Doubtful.
But very possibly a bomb set by Chinese agents, which will be blamed on Uyghurs so as to serve as a pretext while the world is occupied with the Ukraine invasion.
The Uygurs are many things and I’m sure not above terrorism (although I don’t know of any), but they won’t have the connections to pull this off.
“looks like part of the tail is missing.“
That’s a very likely cause of rapid descent!
The CDC says that this appears to be Covid-19 related and should be counted in local statistics as the deadly virus cannot be ruled out without knowledge of the vaccination status of those on board.
If it was a missile, there should be one or more debris fields, outside of the crash site, that would show the break-up on the way down. RIP to all onboard.
Look at it carefully again. It appears the tail is gone.................
The black box is located in the tail, and the box was recovered at the crash site. If the tail had separated at altitude, it would be located in an area miles from the main fuselage...
My unprofessional opinion would be an on-board bomb. Watch them blame it on Taiwan and use it as a pretext for invasion.... Just my $.02
