The photos I’ve seen show large portions of the plane intact. Does not look like it fell from 40,000.
Report that it was about 6 miles from a military base.
One report (USA Today) said Taliban were looking for 2 possible survivors who escaped the crash
My kid used to work in the back of an RJ135. They didnt get parachutes. Just axes and other tools to destroy the sensitive equipment on the way down.
