Yes. That looks like a plane going into the water vertically.

I'll throw something else out there. What if the plane never came back to ground but instead kept climbing, to the point it left earth's atmosphere? I know that a space shuttle has insane amounts of thrust/force/speed to get off the ground and into space, but could a plane, already traveling at 40,000 feet doing 500+mph pull the nose up and just keep going? What if that plane was so f***ing high that it just left the gravitational pull of the earth???!?
No.

A jet couldn't leave the atmosphere for several reasons. The biggest one is that they require air intake for their engines to work. At a certain altitude, there would not be enough air for the engine to take in and the engines would stop working. That's only one reason.
