I swear they said on the radio here in Melbourne that the aircraft had dropped 26000ft in 30 seconds, did anyone else here them say that?
I think that someone on that radio show needs to get a common sense transplant.
52,000 ft per minute, hmm. A quick mental calculation makes that around 550kts vertically down. Now unless Qantas have started to transport their pax in F16s I very much doubt it.
