TV physics clearly indicates that planes are propelled through the air by constant conversion of fuel to thrust, and if that stops, they plummet like a stone. Also, if pilots stop paying attention (like, lose consciousness), this also causes gravity to trump everything and suck the planes directly and immediately downwards, with a spiral at best, but more typically lead weight plummeting from great height behaviour.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just saw a big fiery explosion on the promo for this week's Revolution, so I assume it's not dampening of catalytic combustion that knocked out all the cars.

Oh, Fringe. I'm gonna want to listen to Yaz all week now. That ending was kind of beautiful.
The sound during the interrogation was... wow... seriously unnerving. I'm going to take a stand and say I don't like that observer.
Excellent, albeit creepy, use of Markham, beautiful family reunion, and heartbreaking backstory for Peter and Olivia.

I concur with all of that.

I want to watch it again. Walter was all kinds of heartbreaking in this one.

OMG Yes!!! That kinda killed me, child of the 80s that I am.
And yes, Walter was all sorts of awesome.

Oh, Observers don't breathe well with too much oxygen? Remember the bald feral child they found in season one? Who couldn't breathe when docs tried to give him oxygen? Hello, callback. I hope we get to see some version of that kid.
