Well, at that point:

1. Collision: you'd expect by now to know what it hit.
2. Icing: 7 minutes after departure, 6000 ft above -4 C and climbing.
3. Explosives: 6000 feet, a pressure altitude likely well below that, 28 minutes after EOBT = the only way that will work is if you have a poorly educated suicide bomber with a really big bomb, sitting in just the right place.
4. Rapid disassembly: like #3, does this actually happen?

In short: tragic, and don't believe anyone not bringing additional facts to the table.
