Really said news.

"The plane began spiraling to earth for unknown reasons within seconds of taking off, the spokesman said."

Within seconds of taking off? What could cause an aircraft to spiral to earth in that stage of flight? Possible stall or a mechanical failure?

Bird strike, flight control failure......could be any number of things. When they don't eject, it really leaves you wondering what was going on that they couldn't even get out.
