The question is what was the trigger for the accident? The plane started falling out of the sky for some reason. If it wasn't a controlled descent from the altitude that they were flying at, at some point it's going to break up in mid air. I'm not a pilot, but that plane isn't made to do acrobatics. At some point the wings are going to rip off, with the rest coming apart shortly thereafter prior to hitting the ocean.

sad.
