Very sad event, hope there are survivors but the video of the plane falling from the sky looked very scary.

    Why? There's nothing that would make you fall unconscious. If anything, descending to thicker air will prevent unconsciousness. That's assuming there was a decompression incident in the first place, which doesn't usually happen in plane crashes. Well, until the sudden impact at the end, of course.

        The plane wasn't spinning. Even if it was you don't black out until 7-9 G, and those kind of G forces would tear the plane apart in midair. Only sturdily built military jets can hold together under that kind of stress.

            Ever been to that funhouse ride where you stand inside this barrel, and it starts rotating and then they lower the floor out from under you, and you stick to the walls? That's what it was like for WWII bomber crews when their planes started to spiral on the way down. They couldn't bail out because they were pinned in the aircraft due to G forces.
