Nosedived into the water. 3000 feet in 20 seconds. nt USALiberal Feb 2019 #4

It could be a lot of things. defacto7 Feb 2019 #6

Some ATC Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #8

That was quick. No warning. defacto7 Feb 2019 #11

The speculation I've been reading from pilots is not likely. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #16
