But when did it stop going forward and just start dropping? The wing stopped working, so the the magic that pushes it up there went, but its inertia was also dispersed, so it fell to earth, no longer being a controllable device, just a horrible loss of life.

It apears to have been recording data all the way down, so it was intact and powered by its main generation systems (not been questioned) in a reasonable stable attitude, just not going forward.
