OK...assume it was a bird strike...or a windscreen failure...or a structural failiure...or some other DECU simultaneous dual engine dual mode failure....why would it necessarily result in a crash?

Both pilot's incapacitated simultaneously....both sets of flight controls rendered useless simultaneously?

There's more to this crash than meets the current line of assumptions here.

Put yer thinking caps on.....and start thinking through what is being suggested in each of these scenario's that have been brought up and discussed.

Was it a single windscreen....both windscreens....windscreens and center post....what would have rendered both pilots unable to cope with what happened?

Has there been trouble in the past at PHI with aircraft that had the windscreens replaced?

Any reports of problems with the windscreen center posts?

There are bound to be PHI pilots or engineers (mechanics) that could answer that for us.

Everything is conjecture here....but at least make it "constructive" conjecture.
