Remember the Silk Air crash? The initial dive was extremely steep (50,000 ft per minute approx by the transponder read-out I recall) I wonder what final Mach that aircraft achieved before it came apart around 5-7000 ft and especially, at what estimated Mach, recovery would have proved unachievable?
