I had considered that a possible reason that no radio calls to nearby traffic were heard/made was probably because the crew were preoccupied with trying to save the aircraft first.
Again I can't conclusively agree yet that the aircraft made it down in one piece but will have to admit, with this boards validation, that the debris field does not show much scatter. If I continue to accept this I tend to conclude that the aircraft must be pretty rugged to make that drop in one piece.
Thus I am very interested in the nature of the aerodynamic upset that might have begun at altitude.
And as always the difference in this event between the chicken and the egg regarding the ACAR messages.
carry on
