I've read an article yesterday....there is one expression
>>From this point on, events spiralled out of control.

You're welcome. Let me just add this to the airplane analogy. The plane would be picking up speed as it falls. The "spiraling out of control" also includes an increasing pace of disastrous events.

Very true. Try: The plane really would be picking up speed because of gravity and its loss of control.

We don't want to watch or hear any news about our planes lost control in the air...
