We covered this in the other thread but to give a simple summary: It is not purely a reduction in lift causing the aircraft to begin free falling. Different air masses can move in different directions, including downwards or in a circular motion. When the velocity of the air is high enough it can easily push the airplane down faster than free-fall otherwise would.
