AirAsia flight QZ8501 climbed 6000 ft per minute before crashing

Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan said on Tuesday AirAsia flight QZ8501 climbed at a speed of 6,000 feet per minute, faster than a fighter jet, seconds before it crashed into the Karimata Strait.

“It is unlikely that a fighter jet would increase its flight level at a speed of 6,000 feet per minute,” Jonan said during a hearing with House of Representatives Commission V overseeing transportation and infrastructure, regarding the AirAsia accident

“The average speed of a commercial aircraft is probably between 1,000 and 2,000 feet per minute, because the aircraft is not designed to soar so fast,” the minister continued.

The Airbus A320-300 crashed on Dec. 28, 2014, killing all 162 passengers and crew on board.

so weird, let's just wait until the whole black box readed, so the real mystery would be revealed
