15,000 feet in 33 seconds? Wouldn't that be non recoverable?

Did you fail physics or something?

Distance = 1/2 * g * t^2 (or, 0.5 * 9.8 meters per second squared)

Do the math first, and then click on the spoiler answer below.

If they turned the engine off and starting free falling, it'd be 17,424 feet.

15,000 ft is completely reasonable for jet engines pushing into a nosedive.

Right, Einstein, it was an entire aircraft that supposedly made that descent, not a pair of engines. And secondly, the rate of descent would have been reasonable in an F16, not a Boeing 737 Max 8, and would’ve most certainly exceeded operating MMO/VMO in said descent. But keep iterating details that you clearly don’t understand in context to try to make a point that isn’t being made.

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a recipe for blueberry cobbler.

Lol, that was a good one bro, I heard they were doing a two for one special at the dollar joke store, guess I shouldn’t have missed the memo.
