Not necessarily terminal mechanical damage to the craft... Toxic smoke.
Lethal toxic smoke was filling the craft so the pilot, doing what he was
trained to do, pointed it towards somewhere he was pretty sure there
wouldn't be anyone or thing on the ground destroyed, and they all
suffocated. That's the speculation of commercial pilots on their bbs's
at the time.

The crash climb and dive recorded by radar was an attempt to put out the
fire. The complete power shutoff is SOP when there's an electrical fire.

You might consider reading the article if you haven't. It's also
applicable to what happens when military-industrial complex design
strategies are applied to computers and networks.
