Sorry TAG...

This is empty BS.
A power off emergency landing is highly survivable. Done successfully numerous times.
Futhermore it would take at least 15 minutes do glide from FL310 to ground, plenty of time for mayday calls, position information etc.
This was an uncontrolable high speed dive. This is for sure.

It's so frustrating that 90% of the posts here are meaningless speculation.
