Drinks and passangers were flying around people were screaming and everyone thought "this is it." They managed to power it back up a couple thousand feet before impact and pull out of it.
I guess there was no announcement or explanation of any kind from the pilot. He was likely too busy cleaning out his pants.

OK now that would scare me. Had a Delta jet almost land 20 miles from the airport in Atlanta once. Popped out of cloud cover at about 500 feet with a rate of descent of about 2k per minute. Pilot hit afterburners like .2 seconds later. No one around me had any idea.
