1) Aircraft is cruising at aprox. 37,000 feet and the captain leaves the cockpit. Shortly after that things start to change.
2) Autopilot is switched off.
3) Aircraft starts a rapid descent.
4) Captain enters the cockpit.
5) Elevator is in "split" configuration.
6) Engines are cut off.
7) Elevator back in up configuration.
8) Copilot asks captain to help him pull it up.
9) Aircraft climbs 7000 feet (without engines?)
10) Aircraft starts to desintegrate due to over-stressing the fuselage. If the fuselage starts to desintegrate due to over-stress it should have done it when the nose was pointed back up out of the dive, NOT at the top of the dive.
11) Aircaft hits the Ocean.
