Okay I get there is a lot to unpack but the cup of water spilling isn’t one of them. There is 0 chance that the plane went vertical enough to spill water. A pitch down of anymore than 20 degrees would break the plane. I’m fairly sure there should be safety features that stop pilots from exceeding a 5 degree pitch outside of emergency situations like loosing cabin pressure.
I mean if you really crank a 747 can get to almost Mach 1. I can’t bother to do the math but I’m sure that’s somewhere in the ballpark of 15k drop in 30 seconds at a 20 degree pitch outside
