no this the previous generation 737 ng not 737 max

cina plane

Nice comparison well represented

To add a little to the comparison

The split winglets is offered as an addon package to some of the NG models (notable customer is southwest)
.standard config for NG models is blended winglets aka no split but just shark fins

The 737 max will all come with split scimitar

The crashed plane is a 737 800 NG , looks like a CFIT , probably flying in low visibility and the altimeter just pick up the ground fast and thus the data reflected

Please don't tell me its 737 Max version?

no its not 737 800 ng, previous model.

altitude 30,000 ft tho, low visibility or terrain CFIT, doesn't seem like it

From what i saw in the video the plane is in a very sharp dive, stabilizer runaway? Probbbabababaly (i cannot spell the word) faulty altimeter? Spatial disorientation ?

90 degree downward, and the stabilizer is missing?

what language is this?

Imagine when the first commercial flight crashed and everyone stop taking flight thereafter.

Without evidence we can't do more than speculate, could be anything from mechanical to electrical to human error

China has grounded all 737s model until further notice.

And weather was cloudy but visibility was reported to have been good at the time of the crash.
