CNN is covering it now. Crazy...couldnt even imagine what the people are thinking...I guess they moved every one to the back because the nose will be hitting the ground. They are probably circling to lose as much fuel as they can before they hit

That would be 180 degrees. 90 degrees is a quarter turn.
