something must have gone seriously wrong for the nose of the plane to have declined at such an extreme angle.

Aviation Experts Baffled By Crash Of China Eastern Airlines Flight MU5735
Max 8 manoeuvre
Possible. But the descent airspeed (all be it the GS from the flight radar data) seems controlled. More like a rapid descent (although extreme) at around 6000 fpm.
Just had a pic sent from a friend who's an airline pilot, the China Eastern 737 - 800 is missing its tail section prior to hitting the ground. Wings and engines intact, but missing most of the tail section!!
