    Investigators have also examined data transmitted from the plane’s Rolls-Royce engines that showed it descended 40,000 feet in the span of a minute, according to a senior American official briefed on the investigation. But investigators do not believe the readings are accurate because the aircraft would most likely have taken longer to fall such a distance.

    “A lot of stock cannot be put in the altitude data” sent from the engines, one official said. “A lot of this doesn’t make sense.”

    • I saw them talk about this on CNN with pilots in a simulator, who said it would be nearly impossiblemg33
    • Impossible, that is, to survive the descent form 40K + to 20K without the plan ripping apart.mg33
