I think you’re probably grasping at straws there. It’s not a game where you have to think up the most esoteric possible explanation to try to look clever.

For the record I would be truly astounded if mountain waves had anything to do with the crash.

Firstly, the weather looks completely clear (no hint of lenticular clouds, although I appreciate the narrow nature of the photos doesn’t rule it out). Secondly, a mountain wave is incredibly unlikely to cause a fast jet to suddenly stop flying.

Sorry if my reply appears to be a little blunt but I couldn’t help myself.
