What would we do here if not speculate , we don't WAIT here we just comment, read and do what we want OK Baker
Not that puzzling. something in the back, stab, elevator, or rudder put the nose down and crew may or may not of had a chance to recover. What it was and why are the questions.
Heres the flight that day, it just shows him all of a sudden dropping fast.

the last two reported positions are telling.
2nd to last, he descended 3,000 ft in ~30 sec.
final report was only 5 sec., during which he lost virtually all of his remaining 3,000 ft of altitude.
3,000 ft in ~5 sec = an average descent rate slightly under 400 kts. "Average".

There has been a few rudder Hard over failures in the past ?
not on 76-'s. that's happened on earlier-generation 73's, caused by wear in the hydraulic system (IIRC...)
Did happen a few times on the 67, not too well known
