I just saw something terrifying

25.2k JacobHardy64  8.3 years ago

I'm not sure if an actual plane crashed, but I got a weird notification on my phone (flightradar24)

Never seen an ID like that
Says aircraft has declared a general emergency

Aircraft starts descending at 3000 ft/min

Begins climbing at 2000ft/min

Stops climb about 33,000ft

Begins descent

Climb rate -30,000ft, min, this thing just plummeted

after 30 seconds


Just before impact, 455 kt. Must have been diving straight down


Potential impact

This was in Nevada, there is no aircraft registration, type, etc.

I pray for the best.

    Lol that is a glitch on Flightradar24 but it is rare that it happens.

    @JacobHardy64 It could have been a glitch.

    It must have either been secret (doubt it) or some sort of bug. But yes that descent speed was insane @Makcoink

    I think this plane was some kind of military experimental plane as it seems it just dived at 30,000 ft./m

    Maybe a ramjet. Those don't work good at low speeds! Also the air must've done something to it. I pray for the best also. Keep us updated about stuff like this!

    Also if it was a DC-10, there is an error where if the cargo door in the back is not locked, the door is torn off, the back of the plane or at least the wires are torn off, destroying almost all tail control if you are lucky, usually in this error the plane is either torn in half or loses all tail control, if they were trying to go down and that happened, they would enter a fast and uncontrollable dive

    Depending on the weather it could be true. If there was a storm, violent winds could have caused a flameout or caused the wings to flutter, or both. That could explain the sudden drop. No wings and no power, just dead weight

    @Epicnessssssssssssss not necessarily, black boxes are stored in the cockpit, and maybe a backup in the tail. Transponders arent black bhoxes

    @Epicnessssssssssssss no they track planes with transponders. Black box stores data, not live feeds it

    @JacobHardy64 It did fall to lower altitudes though, and how would a fire get large enough where the crew couldn't put it out?

    Fuel doesn't always explode, unless there is a high concentration of fuel vapor and oxygen, not likely in the fuel tanks at that altitude @Flightsonic

    @JacobHardy64 If there was a fire, the plane's fuel would've most likely caught fire too, so there wouldn't be much of a dive
