There's been a few crashes with planes hitting terrain at a very steep pitch, but I'm struggling to think of one where it's been pretty much vertical. Even the complete failure/loss of the horizontal stabilisers wouldn't cause this. I'm thinking pilot suicide. The g=forces would have been immense, the passengers would most likely have been unconscious.I think the ValueJet plane went mostly vertical into the everglades.
Yup, you're right.

Looks to be slightly inverted, similar to the Alaskan Airlines flight 261 which was a failure of the horizontal stabilisers.
