Ok then explain the loss of contact from the tower??? Those points were meant to go hand in hand.

If the plane was going down for that purpose, it would have definitely not taken that 3X degree angle into the house, unless however it was intentional. **Im not saying it wasn’t ice related** but there’s something past that.

Lol… I thought I did an ok job in explaining that these were FAR FROM FACTS and rather just an opinion.
