Poor old Auntie (ABC Website https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-03-...dent/100928004) has a picture of a A350 but claim it is a B738. Should have asked GT.

Aaaand they've wheeled out GT, who of course knows exactly what happened. Pilot suicide according to him.

There are differing reports on whether it levelled out at 500' and climbed to 1500' before diving in. To level out from a 30,000 fpm descent would take some G, but as soon as the force is released, the blackout/greyout stops.
But that final video doesn't look like a drop from 1500' to me. |
This thread has further discussion, FYI.
