It was more or less in free fall the entire time. Likely reached terminal velocity. They tried to roll the plane to get lift back which is why the plane is sideways, but they couldn’t pitch it back up.
One of the current theories is the stabilizers on the tail got obstructed or damaged by ice. They detached at some point before the crash. They were found a few miles away from the crash site today.
Yeah, I was not ready for that audio. It happened so fast, but you could still tell how aware the pilots were of how unrecoverable the situation was. RIP, they didn’t deserve to go out like that.
I had to look it up, you’re not kidding. The pilot literally just screams their decent rate (22,000 feet per minute) and bank (60°) a few times and then nothing.
Kinda thinking the same thing, but at the same time, what was he supposed to say? He’s probably shaken during it too and you don’t want to say anything to incite more panic, or try to be comforting but miss the mark and waste their last seconds of life.
Do not click this if you don’t want to hear someone panicking right before they die. If you are not in a good situation to handle that, this is not for you. You gain nothing from hearing it.
Yeah this is a crazy accident. They basically plummeted from cruising altitude. The audio is devastating to hear.

Is it normal for ATC to be this emotionally detached?

Yeah cheers. Definitely not clicking that.
