Let's let facts and Data rule - not idle speculation
- Profound sympathy to the crew, pax and their families.
- More data is needed to even start any credible assessment. Like the distribution of remaining identifiable parts, any ATS communication, preliminary failure mode of identifiable pieces, etc.
- an ultimate pitch tuck can have many many root causes
- much of the above speculation is both technically way off-base, and very unfair to the families of the lost flight crew, pax, ....and even to the airline at this point.
- let's hope a credible internationally staffed accident team can be fielded ASAP, and the results honestly, credibly, and quickly reported.
- There are just too many NGs we're flying out there, to not have credible bounds being placed on the inaccurate speculation now being distributed... ASAP.
- Let's hope for usable DFDR, QAR, and CVR data... but in accidents like this, that can be long shot.
- Profound sympathy to the crew, pax and their families.
