Aviation expert and former pilot Arthur Rosenberg said video of the plane appears to show the airliner stalling in midair. 

"A stall is when the plane is not moving through the air fast enough, forward motion, to be able to maintain lift to stay in the air," he told Fox News Channel's "The Story." "The sound tells me there was something wrong with one or both engines."

The radar data shows a "rapid descent," which could have been attributed to an engine failure or some other malfunction, he said.

An airliner crashed in Brazil on Friday. 

"It looked like it dropped 17,000 feet in about two minutes," Rosenberg said. 

The airliner is an ATR 72-500 twin-engine turboprop, according to FlightRadar24, a flight tracking website, though VOEPASS didn't immediately confirm that. The aircraft is used for shorter flights.
