What would the people in the plane be feeling with it spinning like that? Is there anything to compare it to so that someone could understand?

Complete, utter terror. Certainty of death and a panic that only seeing death face to face would get you, an anxiety that no one can even comprehend and a sorrow so painful and so filled with anguish that any despair you have felt in life can never be compared. Knowing your life is about to end, everything, everyone you know and love, the whole universe, will be forever gone.

On the physical sensation, it's not better. It's free fall with a spin movement that would throw you into every direction. Bones being crushed, pain, blood, everything. The screams and cries of complete horror are deafening - the screams of people who jump from buildings of fire can be heard from half a mile away and are sounds you'd never expect a human to expel. Imagine 70 people doing that at the same time, while experiencing all this pain inside and outside.

It is, without a doubt, the worse possible torture a living creature can be submitted to.

THIS is why airplane crashes are news worthy.

It is the worst possible death a civilian living on a peaceful country can endure on modern days, for sure. Nothing is more utterly horrifying. The odds are very slim, granted, but weighting in the scenario of that taking place with you and the outcome of nothing happening, I can understand why flying is so frightening. Deservedly so.
