China Air Crash

Go to about 1:15 in the video, and then watch closely, as they show the video of the plane, falling out of the sky, right before it hit the mountain.
Not sure how to interpret this. The plane looks intact, no missing pieces, but it's coming down super fast (nearly 25,000 feet in less than 2 minutes), in a nearly vertical position.
Planes don't do that, unless they're piloted to point down vertically. Based on this short video, and the rapid descent, they probably hit 0g, 20 seconds into the descent, and stayed there for the duration.
What kind of malfunction, would do that? If the engines had quit, the plane would still fly (its wings will carry it, horizontally) for a distance, until it eventually loses lift, and glides into the first obstacle.
