The recreation aims to provide insight into the unusual but controlled dive, which saw the aircraft lose over 17,000 feet of altitude rapidly. Aviation experts are analyzing the incident to understand the factors behind the sudden drop, while authorities continue to investigate the safety of the flight. The simulation offers a rare look at how pilots handled the unexpected situation mid-air.
