Given the altitude drops while the speed stays the same, that implies no bomb, no missile, which would alter the speed at the same time as alt. No that looks more like intentional dive, either pilot goes mad, or remote control. A control failure is unlikely, like tail flaps, because that would have a changing effect not a linear effect.
Agree 100%. Airspeed is constant through almost all of the altitude loss. The odds of the A/C falling, after an explosion, at exactly the same speed as it was cruising at is not likely to me. 100% controlled dive thru 8,000 ft, unless the data is faulty some how.
Something happens at 7-8,000 ft tho. Maybe dove the plane low enough for ground forces?

Conclusion: remote or pilot action
