c.30,000ft by 8mins = 3,750ft/min rate of descent, which I'd guess is fairly consistent with gliding, a bit steep perhaps, but an average. Usually I can get some sort of a handle on these things, but this one's odd, esp. as no Mayday crew call over 8mins. No suggestion of structural failure, so it's presumably either a power or control issue.
