From one of the photo stills, looks like part of the tail is missing.
looks like more wreckage actually visible than Shanksville
Was a guy in the cockpit complaining about the Snackbar?
One wonders why?
No mention of Fang Fang being a passenger. I kneed if the tarter will go to the funeral.
If it were a rogue missile, it would have to have been a large surface to air missile from a fixed or mobile launcher. MANPADS cannot get up to that altitude.
An onboard bomb is more likely than a missile.
I’ve tuned out the media reporting on this one … because it’s only a matter of time before it’s widely reported that the aircraft was being flown by two Russians who refused to get COVID vaccines.
Interesting.
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.
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?
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
Taiwanese terrorist?
People are being too polite to say — but it’s almost certainly murder-suicide by plane, with an outside chance of an autopilot hack (i.e., murder without the suicide.)
There are really no casualty events that can cause the trajectory noted.
There are very few casualty events that could have caused the initial dive ... but the key fact is the 20 second reversal of the dive. This would not have been possible with the kind of casualty could have caused the initial dive.
However, it is very well explained by Pilot A or hacked autopilot putting the plane into a dive, Pilot B recovering control for 20 seconds, and Pilot A or autopilot taking the controls back and resuming the fatal dive, or (less likely) the dive reversal having been so far out of the performance envelope wings or stabilizers detached or control surfaces failed.
The aircraft was severely damaged in this accident,
really??? wut was his first clue?
Check the flight manifest to see if anyone on board may have been targeted for assassination.
