At over 10,000 ft/min rate of descent, surely they'd have felt it along with the very rapid change of pressure in the cabin
SLF here with no idea on flying an aircraft. What I would like to speculate on, however, is
what kind of physiological effects such a rate of descent would have had on the flight deck crew?
We can surmise that the crew was already disoriented by inaccurate instrument readouts, audible alarms and flashing lights. Compounded by 10000ft/min rate of descent is it conceivable that even if the crew been able to reestablish control of the aircraft they could not due to incapacitation or even more disorientation?
