China Eastern Aircrash

Some chilling video shows the plane was nose down -- almost is a straight dive toward the ground. Wondering if this was a crew assisted crash?

I would go with something with the flight crew.

Any type of struggle in the cockpit would most likely be picked up to some degree in the cockpit voice recorder.

agreed about flight crew...I thought I read that it nosedived and then somewhat correted and nosedived again...airplanes just don't do that and hopefully the Flight date recorder will be recovered as well as the cockpit voice recorder if they are not severely damaged...that video mentioned above was crazy to watch and made it appear to be almost a controlled flight straight down

Possibly very similar to UA flight 93 on the day of the 9/11 attacks, at least in terms of outcome.

Flight 93 - Hijackers, Passengers & Crash | HISTORY

United Airlines Flight 93 was hijacked by members of the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001. It crashed down in a field in rural Pennsylvania, never reaching its intended target because its crew and passengers fought back against the terrorists.

Horrible....appears to be partially disintegrating before it hits. Probably > 600 mph.
