[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] After the (I believe) second shockwave hits the saucer section, the computer makes the announcement that helm control is offline. This means that all ability to control the flight path and propulsion means of the saucer were temporarily fried. We see in the FX sequence that the shockwave causes the saucer to bounce and it looks like that it points the saucer into the atmosphere. If the engines were still running, that could have forced to continue full-tilt into the atmosphere. On the other hand, the shockwave also could have conceivably damaged the saucer's impulse engines as well. In this case, with impulse engines and thrusters offline (thrusters because Data had to reroute control and/or power to get the lateral ones working again) the gravity of the planet would simply pull the saucer in after the shockwave changed the saucer's trajectory and damaged the propulsion systems.
