Eight seconds later, the control yoke is pushed forward, tipping the tail up, pitching the nose down, and the aircraft tilts into a precipitous but controlled dive. Fourteen seconds later, the aircraft reaches 90% of the speed of sound and zero gravity--weightlessness--as it plummets through the night...

The wild ride lasted less than two minutes and left behind a slew of puzzling questions. Was the crew alive during those final...
