Flintstone;

Yes, I changed the word in the post from "will" to "may" with that in mind.

Re speculation, agree when facts are not known or one is not in a position to offer specialist knowledge or experience. The pattern/sequence of this accident is reported however,
Short translation of the report of the Office of Prosecutor of Kazakhstan: Immediately after take-off the aircraft banked right, the wing struck the ground. Then the aircraft deviated to the right, hit the concrete perimeter fence, crashed, broke up and caught fire.
, so I think the notions expressed here are at least worth discussing because the pattern of the accident sequence reported has occurred at least four previous times with this type. That isn't speculation, that is fact but caution must be exercised that this remains a discussion and not a summary of the cause of this accident which is not known. The line is a fine one indeed.
