It wasn’t. IIRC, it was descending at 30,000 feet per minute at its peak and was maybe coming close to Mach 1 at impact.

I also understand there’s some deeply NSFL audio floating around, but I haven’t listened and don’t intend to.

    The audio is a bit rough, especially if you haven't heard any emergency calls or ATC traffic before but not really any more distressing than watching a loaded plane slam into the ground. Which doesn't even have a NSFW tag

    I listened to the audio. Always heartbreaking to hear people's distressing last words as they realize they are about to die.

    For me it was the helplessness she was in. There was nothing anyone could have done at the time. The ATC operator was trying to see what could be given to them but they where out of options.

    Jeff was full on doing the lords prayer in the background, can’t imagine a good 30 seconds of knowing you are dead

    at least there was no pain, just helplessness

    reminds me of Benny from that scene in the Mummy without any of the humor

    People are saying the equipment only registers a maximum of 32,000 feet per minute, but the aircraft was probably traveling closer to 60,000 feet per minute on impact, at basically terminal velocity for that aircraft.

    I don't know anything though, just parroting comments from YouTube.

    Very sad audio, but nowhere near something like the Brick Video.
