I'm not a pilot, but I am an engineer. Logic would suggest that if the aircraft systems told it to change altitude even suddenly, the nose would lower and it would descend, albeit rapidly. It wouldn't just drop. The only thing that is going to make it drop as it apparently did is sudden loss of the lift component, due to absence of air flowing over the leading edge.
Tech crew, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
