Sky News aviation expert Byron Bailey says passengers aboard the crashed China Eastern Airlines flight would have been “screaming all the way down” as the plane plunged into the side of a mountain.
Mr Bailey said the Boeing 737-800 had “perfect” flight conditions given the temperature and wind speeds.
All 132 passengers on board the flight are believed to be dead after the plane plunged into a forest over China’s Guangxi province on Monday afternoon, local time.
“Thunderstorms, that’s the only big worry these days; you avoid thunderstorms,” he said.
“As far as the malfunction of the airplane goes, the 737-800 is just such a basic airplane.
“It’s hard to imagine anything that could go wrong that could cause the airplane to lose control in such a fashion.
Mr Bailey suggested the crash could have been caused by human intervention, but the flight data recorder was needed to properly assess the catastrophe.
“When you think about it, they have a big problem with Uighurs, so it could possibly have been a terror attack,” he said.
“If the tail hasn’t fallen off, which I just don’t think has happened, then it has to be human intervention, I think.
“It could well be that there was a fight going on in the cockpit where one guy was trying to commit suicide, and the other was trying to stop him.”

Anybody in gov’t on the plane?
That sounds like a big pile of frontier gibberish.
Could be something broke in the tail, but my guess is confusion in the cocpit. Somebody hit the wrong switch, turned off something without realizing, and it became Computer pilot versus human pilot.
And ended in a tie.
Not sure, but I don’t recall seeing a steeper angle of descent in a plane crash.
“If the tail hasn't fallen off, which I just don't think has happened, then it has to be human intervention, <<<
Yup.. now that I've thought about it for 30 seconds....it can only be...one or the other!....lol...
Some expert on FNC said today that in order for it to crash like that someone was at the controls.
Hopefully it was a Tibetan or Uyghur seeking vengeance, though I fear the reaction when you poke the panda bear

What good does that do?
Back years ago the 737 had a problem with the jack screw in the rudder. It brought down several 737s in quick succession.
They would be fine one second and then roll over into a dive. I am sure that issue is completely resolved but they entered near vertical dives upon entering the failure mode.
Authentic frontier gibberish.😏
Look at the video. That plane was flown into the ground
Well Thats gonna just piss them off ...gold backed curency for sure now ..and no more covid circus ..probly
That one looked ugly - straight down. Way too early for any conclusions. Need the box.
Diving straight down at full speed is what a Muslim airplane pilot would do when he goes into sudden Jihad mode. What we call a freak out. Knife his copilot, then head straight down.
Same might have taken place in China, minus the Islamic factor.
What about EgyptAir flight 990?
Echoes of Flight 93’s full speed dive.
FWIW....I thought I saw smoke from the plane on the vid as it was on its way down.
