China flight MU5735 crashes in Asia, nose dive of 20k feet in 1 minute

The project management philosophy called Agile probably started catching on at Boeing.

Unfortunately Mark Wahlberg wasn’t on the flight. He would have been able to prevent the crash.

Mark Wahlberg: With Me Aboard, 9/11 Hijackers Would Have Been Stopped

"If I was on that plane with my kids. ... There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry,' " the actor told Men's Journal. He's now ap...

Also could have been wind shear.

Without following this at all seems like a suicide attempt by the pilot like the Malaysian air from a few years ago. No way anything besides human intent causes a crash like that.

You're probably right, I'd say it's far more likely than not. However, didn't the 2 737 MAX planes that crashed nosedive for at least some of the descent? I know the recent plane was not a MAX but I guess it's possible for mechanical failure to cause something like this? But yeah, highly unlikely.

I'm very curious what all of the removed posts on this thread are.... This is not a very controversial topic. Can't imagine what people were saying haha.

The Lets Run board population has quite a bit of talent. Some must really know aviation. At the risk of speculation without enough facts, I am listening closely to those who think this might have been intentional. That plane nosedived completely perpendicular to the earth. In the event of a mechanical failure it strikes me that there would have been some attempt to stabilize the plane. I look forward to hearing more from those who are knowledgeable.

Seems most similar to Egypt Air 990 where the pilot turned off autopilot, pushed the controls into a nose dive and then started chanting "I rely on God," in Arabic. It was deemed likely a murder/suicide and killed 217.

Germanwings 9525 was another, where the pilot locked the captain out of the cockpit then adjusted the controls to crash straight into a mountain. It was confirmed murder/suicide and he killed 150 people. The pilot had known mental health problems with suicidal thoughts.

Malaysia airlines 370 is looking a lot like murder suicide, but I'm not sure if that one's confirmed yet.

And let's not forget the suicidal, murdering 9/11 hijackers that killed 2,890 people in total, to make a political statement.

Enjoy everyday, as much as you can. It can all end in the blink of an eye, like it did for Tony Soprano.

Yet another Boeing, more top workmanship from America.
