This one included no obvious cuts of silence and did have unrelated transmissions included, and included the radar tracking of the aircraft along with an overlay of weather radar. There was no indication of any editing for brevity, and the first radio call of genuine distress was "We are descending at 10,000 feet per minute" and not something that suggested a more gradual degradation of flight condition outside the mention of precipitation.
It really does appear that the situation went from "Uncomfortable but manageable" to "Already a disaster and getting rapidly worse" in a matter of seconds.
