Nosediving passenger plane Boeing 737
Less than 2 min to impact. Horrendous - one of the more awful ways to die (I can think of plenty worse but this is more likely than many on my horrendous list)
No mayday call
A new plane

Boeing again. They will not be happy. Last time they fucked up their software. I think they pray for pilot error / a deliberate act.

If your plane is uncontrollable and bound to go down hard, having just 2 minutes of agony, instead of a one-hour roller coaster in a downwards spiral doesn't seem all that bad.
I would prefer neither, but if I am about to die why not just get it over with promptly?
Plummeting 20,000ft in a couple of minutes would have rendered all passengers unconscious pretty quickly due to the g-force causing blood rushing to their heads. I'd say thankfully that although having initial terror, they will have gone without knowing their finality - but I guess we will never know.
RIP to all those on board!

^ This.
I read that after losing consciousness they regain it again when they reach oxygen. Imagine that!
My brother helped search for bodies at Lockerbie. He never talks about it, apart from one day telling us about slapping some looters, and had a hard time after. Terrible way to go.

pew, pew, pew, pew!
Is pilot suicide being investigated? Seems unnatural for a plane to go in to a completely vertical dive like we saw unless its lost all wings. Far from an aerodynamics expert but it just seems wrong.
"Goodness me! Now STD free..."
It’s a thing that happens. The pilots have no control and the plane things it’s rising or something.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

Going straight down at a more or less constant speed would put no strain on your body whatsoever. So unfortunately nobody would have lost consciousness due to such a dive,
and probably would be fully aware of what was about to happen

That will happen after a depressurisation at high altitude if you don't grab your mask quick enough. Not at all related to a rapid dive.
In fact, if a plane is experiences depressurisation, the normal procedure is to go into a steep dive to quickly get down to below 10.000 feet.
I was on a plane over Europe that suddenly just dropped without warning. It wasn’t regular turbulence, it kept going. Worst turbulence I’ve experienced so far.Guru Meditation wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 2:14 pmGoing straight down at a more or less constant speed would put no strain on your body whatsoever.

I don’t know how long we were falling because adrenaline kicked in quickly. People were screaming and praying, someone hit their head on the ceiling and started bleeding, drinks flying all over. I thought that was it as I sat strapped into my seat with the lady next to me drilling her nails into my hand.
It was… educational. At that moment I accepted the end as fact and figured whatever happens is completely out of my control. I was mostly just happy that nobody close to me was on the same flight.
When the plane stabilized the pilot turned on the seatbelt sign and apologized. The bleeding guy was helped by the crew.
I wouldn’t mind dying in a plane crash. Falling from the sky gives a rare moment of clarity. It’s probably better than being shot or stabbed.

When you read a post like this, written a couple of days after pictures appear of Batty dying in the squalor of a Laos hospital, it's hard not to agree with the boss here. There are worse ways to go. As deaths go, it's certain, sudden and painless.
If it's not an Airbus, i'm taking the Bus. 737 any model now in the air is a stretched version of the 1960s design.
I know the issues on the MAX planes caused them to nosedive - the faulty sensor would trick the plane into thinking it was ascending at too steep a level and try to correct that by forcing the nose down and overriding the pilots.
Being that this isn't a Max, I wonder what would cause it outside of the pilot? If the plan lost engines/power you would expect it to descend but not straight down in a nosedive, right?

But while all eyes shifted to Boeing and the safety of the specific aircraft, Australian aviation expert Neil Hansford says the crash, which is the first for the Chinese carrier in 30 years, was unlikely to be caused by a technical issue.
"Even with total loss of power, no aircraft plummets to the ground from 20,000 feet in two minutes with an event at 8000 feet," Hansford explained to news.com.au.
"It is very unlikely the pilot passed out as the non-flying pilot would have been able to very safely take over and land the aircraft," he explained.
"Likely scenarios include pilot suicide, aircraft mid-air collision with military aircraft – they don't have transponders like civil aircraft – [flight MU5735] was struck by a missile or an on-board explosion."
"My tipping is a human-induced event or bought down by rogue missile. Debris looks like MH117 over Ukraine"
