Mike Slack spoke with The Boston Globe about the air ambulance jet that went down off Nantucket. All six people aboard are presumed to have died.
He reviewed the flight tracking data for the Globe. The aircraft fell from 24,000 feet to 11,000 in about three minutes.
"Clearly, an aircraft descending at over 4,000 feet a minute from 24,000 feet to 11,000 is out of control. No pilot would do that if they were in control of the aircraft."
Until the flight recorder is recovered, what happened in those three minutes won't be known.
Our thoughts are with their families.
