The descent was 4,000 ft per minute which is controlled as I understand it by the A320 software on the plane. A small bomb couldn't have gone off decompressing the plane and causing the descent? I'm not sure I can completely discount such an occurrence yet.
Decompression is a reason to descend, but not that low. Such a descent is not automatic, the command to descend must be initiated by the pilots.
