The pilots pulled back on the yoke as they tried to level the plane out, but the plane continued into a steep dive; soon the plane rolled 35° to the left and the dive achieved 50°, as the plane rolled counterclockwise (Anticlockwise) with over -2g of overload, at 10:51:50am the plane disintegrated at an altitude of 5,700 meters (18,700 feet) and the instruments speed recorded 810 kilometres per hour.
