Flight aware data shows pretty slow heading change and fairly constant ground speed out of 10000, but vertical speed at -7000fpm when it stopped tracking at 3000’.

Doesn’t look like a spin.

Heartbreaking. I know a few former Omni and NAA guys at Atlas. Hope they're ok. Condolences to the crew lost and to their families and friends.

About 6:25 they ask to "go on the West side" and approach tells them there are "a bunch of departures right at ya..." and then they step on each other while Approach is telling them the plan.

Just looked on cnn and all they had was stupid political crap in big red with this crash an after thought in a tiny headline below. Had this been an airline crash or a mash shooting with only 2 dead as they call it it takes up the whole page with super bold letters. Stupid media and their priorities.
