737 Crash in China

[GameBoy27]

Pretty crazy angle of attack. I wonder what cause the crash. Cue the speculation in 3-2-1...

Another Boeing airplane. Is this a pattern?

This was an older 737. I think it's a little early to call it a pattern, especially since we have no idea what happened. Considering the number of 737 flights on a daily basis and infrequency of crashes, my guess is it's not something to be overly concerned about. Sometimes shit happens.

I do however feel sorry for the victims and their families.

Well its weird. A nosedive is not possible under normal conditions. While my flight skills are less than a few hours if that planes - even the large ones are meant to glide - they might drop like rocks but they stay more or less level. It possible it was done to recover from a stall and bad things happened. Or my guess would be computer error. Time will tell. At worst is that there is general problem with computers on some planes - cyber security or bug.
I ve been told some countries use old planes that we don't allow in Canadian airspace. So that possible here too. Certainly I ve seen total wreaks in some parts of the world and China used to use old planes unfit to fly - like the seakings.

I know, it's definitely a weird one. Lots of countries, including Russia buy North American planes once they're deemed "too old" for use here.

We'll see. But, it might be the famous 737 "tail gremlin " showing up again.

I saw a video of the debris field. Looks too small to be an explosion.

Still much safer than than traveling by car. Major airline crashes are few and far between, considering there's almost 40 million fights worldwide each year.

Could be intentional nose dive. Suicide by pilot maybe. No radio distress was sent from what I heard on the news.

Not the first time that's happened. Remember the flight where the pilot locked his co-pilot out and crashed the plane?

Yes I do.

 

[GameBoy27]

Yes I do.

In that case, you could hear the locked out pilot trying to smash the door down.

Door locked, cockpit recorder shut off, autopilot shut off, stick forward. Once it starts going nose down there is nothing anyone can do.

Black box should hold the answers.

Didn't they fix this problem after the last incident?

But that pilot did not even nose dive it.

But this one did, Flight 990 EgyptAir (Boeing 767-366ER). Suicide by pilot like this are just horrible...

A stall will generally never end up in a nose dive. An onboard explosion will but in this case we saw image of a plane diving that seems intact. So a suicide is an option for sure.

I believe the problem with the 737 Max caused the plane to turn the nose down.

Does the co-pilot's family get any money of it is a suicide?
