The dynamics in the FD don't seem to have been dramatically imparting a sensation of falling..............
Yeah that's why I asked the the question, was thinking that myself. If the crew didn't know they were falling did the PAX? Did the PAX know they were in imminent danger, was there panic in the cabin? I suppose it will be hard to find out. I presume a lot of the PAX were asleep when the incident commenced.
Would there have been any stall buffet or structural break up of the aircraft or did it just smoothy fall until impact?
