Truly Incredible... Retired Navy pilot Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley revealed today that the hijacked flydubai flight exceeded its maximum operating speed by a staggering 100 knots while plunging 20,000 feet in just 30 seconds.

This means the Boeing 737 MAX 8 was flying 115 mph OVER its absolute structural red-line limit!  - Israel MyChannel@IsraelMychannel

• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫: Commercial jets are built tough, but they aren't fighter jets. Exceeding max speed by this much causes "flutter"—violent aerodynamic vibrations that can literally rip the wings or tail right off the fuselage mid-air. 
• 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞: Surviving a dive this steep and fast without the airframe snapping apart under the extreme G-forces is virtually unheard of. 

The fact that the passengers and crew managed to subdue the attacker and pull the plane out of this violent dive before it disintegrated in the sky is an absolute miracle...
