32000- 38000. Sounds like the news agency reports vary.

The RADAR screen shot showed it at 36300 ft doing 353 kts going up
and slowing down.



Anything could happen if they were caught in turbulent, rising
thunderstorm currents.

The recordings with air traffic control indicate flt level 32,000 with a
request by the pilot to climb to 38,000 ft. That request was denied.
So, he either chose to climb anyway, was caught in a severe updraft or
the flight control instruments were screwed up.
