''Analysing the data from the flight, aviation expert Sally Gethin suggests that passengers must have been knocked out by the g-force during the vertical fall of the plane.
However, she says that the route that the plane took indicates that one or more of the pilots might have regained consciousness and tried to save the plane in the last few seconds''
''There was a brief ascent in altitude at about 8,000 feet, which indicates a “10 to 20-second spell where one or more of the pilots regained consciousness and tried to save the plane," Gethin told the Sun.''
''Although Ms Gethin noted that all the people on board would have been unconscious at the time of the crash.''
''Reports say that there were three pilots on the plane, two of which were very experienced, while the third one was a trainee.''

''The first thing accident investigators are going to have to determine is: was the aircraft all in one piece when it hit the ground, or did something fall off the aeroplane before it hit the ground?” said Juan Browne, a Boeing 777 pilot and popular aviation vlogger who analyses air incidents. “The video data to me suggests that the aircraft was in one piece.”
It is “extremely rare” for an aircraft to end up in that near-vertical attitude, said Browne.
Jean-Paul Troadec, a former director of the French Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety, told Agence France-Presse that data was “very unusual”, but stressed that it was “far too early” to draw conclusions.''
''As investigators examined the wreckage, they would be particularly focused on the “trim” setting on the aircraft’s elevator, the moving surfaces at the rear of the plane that control the pitch of its nose, said Browne.
Trim refers to the mechanism that keeps the elevator in a certain position without the need for sustained pilot input.''
