The data being received is clearly sporadic and unreliable at best, after all the plane suddenly ends up 100 miles West of where the map thought it was...but (and again, no idea if it's true or even close) the sudden loss of altitude towards the beginning would be very concerning if it was real...

I flew into DEN yesterday and we were coming from the east but went all the way around North over Wyoming and came in over the mountains before landing...no idea why they didn't do the same thing if they were on their way to SLC
