Angle of bank, then only half of it can be counteracting the lift. so that the greater the bank angle, the less available lift there is to counteract gravity, which makes it harder to maintain altitude. >> something was changing too rapidly for the radar data to keep up with it. from 9,000 feet, i saw one more hit at 1,000 feet. now, that's bad. that's real bad. that's a rate of descent like a fighter jet. that's 8,000 feet a minute which is screaming down. >> when that nose drop occurred, i realized it was going to crash. >> there is no further communication from the flight. >> i knew they we...

I want to distinguish between a sharp bank angle versus a sharp turn. in other words, how far was the turn? was the turn made rapidly in direction? that was my question. but i think -- >> here's the thing. you know, someone is saying it would take two minutes, right? two minutes is the normal sort of textbook turn. >> what we call a standard turn. >> we don't know that. i haven't seen any place, marty, i haven't seen anywhere here where it says two minutes. that was sort of a guesstimate about how long it takes to do a turn that is a normal turn. but as you pointed out in the beginning of this...

I need the closest airport possible. >> he's maybe two or three miles closer to dade collier, but at his rate of speed and altitude, he can easily make miami, and miami has services. we have fire equipment. there's medical. collier is out in the everglades and there's nothing there. >> walton little is fishing in the everglades and can see that something is going very wrong for flight 592. >> when i hear the loud jet noise, i look to my left shoulder. i see a large aircraft, unusually low to the ground. >> we're like, okay. this is probably going to be a crash on the airport now. >> i realize ...

Says, i need the nearest air strip. i need the closest airport possible. >> he's maybe two or three miles closer to dade collier, but at his rate of speed and altitude, he can easily make miami, and miami has services. we have fire equipment. there's medical. collier is out in the everglades and there's nothing there. >> walton little is fishing in the everglades and can see that something is going very wrong for flight 592. >> when i hear the loud jet noise, i look to my left shoulder. i see a large aircraft, unusually low to the ground. >> we're like, okay. this is probably going to be a cra...

Enough lift, causing the plane ç to lose altitude. >> if the wings are level then 100% of the lift is counteracting gravity. when you have a 45-degree angle of bank, then only half of it can be counteracting the lift. so the greater the bank angle the less available lift there is to counteract gravity, which makes it harder to maintain altitude. >> something was changing too rapidly for the radar data to keep up with it. from 9,000 feet i saw one more hit at 1,000 feet. now that's bad. that's real bad. that's a rate of descent like a fighter jet. that's 8,000 feet a minute, which is screaming...
