Just reading the links, they speculated that the descent at that rate was quite possibly controlled by the pilot... possibly to look for a place to land.
If the debris field is as spread out as they are saying, it almost sounds like they may have been flying low to try and find a flat area to make an emergency landing, but clipped a mountain and then ripped apart.
Just complete speculation on my part.
