Very sad event, hope there are survivors but the video of the plane falling from the sky looked very scary.
Here goes the 12 year record for no fatal airline disaster in china :sadness:
Remember that train crash in 2011 where all those people died and the government got roasted on social media? That was the wakeup call for them, afterwards they got the program rolling with censorship. Not long after Google said they were going to use their search engine to help engineer a color revolution in China and nothing could stop them. Boy were they surprised when they got roughly thrown out of the country.
Wow. That is a straight vertical nosedive. People on :reddit-logo: saying it fell for 2.5 minutes. Holy shit that is frightening
I'm pretty sure you fall unconscious pretty quickly in that situation, no?
Edit: Might be mixing things up, not sure actually
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.
Maybe if you were flying straight up for 25 minutes lol. straight down is semi weightlessness (not to mention no way could you fall straight down for 25 minutes in an airplane lolol. Unless this plane was in space when it started falling, it only took a few minutes at most)
a six-year-old 737-800 aircraft
Uh oh. Is that the one that was grounded a couple years ago?
Edit: No

Looks like it just flew straight down into the ground.
This looks bad. The angle makes it seem like the controls were aimed straight down, which could be because of some control issue like the 737 max, or intentional murder suicide by the pilot. Because planes don't just go at that angle unless steered like it
This is one of the things I'm worried about. Immediately the western narrative will be "those dang chineses and their honor culture forces them to work themselves mad to the point of murder suicide!"
Nevermind the fact that our postal system is literally synonymous with the same thing.
Hope those that perished went quickly and quietly. I can't imagine the terror
It is actually fairly common for planes to come straight down like that depending on how they went into the crash. If the pilot went into a graveyard spin, the plane would nosedive like that for instance.
I spent far too long reading airplane crash analyses out of morbid curiosity.
