@KateHikes137@gallienus218 Did we watch the same video? That Learjet did not just “fall” from the sky. It lawn-darted from 35,000 feet and accelerated the entire way. The engines were spooled up on impact. It’s exactly the same as your example with a heavier aircraft from a higher altitude.
@ViniJr424590@thejonfredric@Morfornexs Most likely there was some sort of stall scenario and one of the wings held on to its lift slightly longer than the other. If only one with is producing lift, then the plane will bank the opposite direction
@Morfornexs@thejonfredric In this scenario, those two things have the same meaning. Even if they regained control at that point, the plane was descending too quickly for them to have been able to pull out the dive before they hit the ground.
@KateHikes137@gallienus218 No I think you misunderstood I’m saying you’re wrong and are blatantly spreading disinformation about established and unchanging laws of physics
@I4NFTS The forces of impact physically tear you apart as soon as contact is made with the ground. Think of it as the Oceangate implosion from a few years ago. They were alive and then they weren’t. The difference here, however, is that these people had a 70 second nosedive leading up.
@TallShipTHANE Having the ATC audio can be helpful to determine the general cause of the accident, but if you want to find out what exactly happened, you need telemetry data and audio recordings from inside the plane itself. That data is stored in the black box.
@TallShipTHANE The black box records audio from inside the cockpit. You hear everything, including words that were said outside of a radio transmission to ATC. The audio we’re hearing is only the communications that happened between the flight crew and the controllers. +
@KateHikes137@gallienus218 Turns out terminal velocity is a constant value for every thing and ISN’T determined based on mass, cross-sectional area, and drag-coefficient.
@iknwaeke@AdvanceMain@NetworksManager I don’t think anybody on Twitter will be able to definitively tell you what part of the plane those pieces belong to
@mendozamicah17 When you burn firewood for several hours do you expect it to still be intact? No. It burns. It turns to ash. The chemical composition of the wood changes. That is what happened here. Anything that wasn’t immediately obliterated was incinerated instead.
@CrimsonFoxTwo@ericdschroeder@Zach_TheRipper Basically yeah, we don’t really know for sure but it looks like the plane was missing its horizontal stabilizer when it hit the ground. It probably wasn’t a cause of the dive but rather a result of the overspeed condition which led to an in flight breakup. It was just falling.
