The video discusses an abnormal descent rate of an aircraft, which is not typical for gliding. It compares this situation to a stall, like the Rio-Paris incident, but notes the descent is not excessively rapid. The impact zone is small, indicating no mid-air explosion, unlike the Ukraine incident. The aircraft hit the ground at high speed, around 700 km/h. Explosion and terrorism are ruled out, but the exact cause remains unknown until black box data is analyzed.
