Interesting the Lockerbie has been brought up. (I, unfortunately, remember it all too well.) We know for a fact that Pan Am 103 broke apart at altitude. I'd like to correlate this with the recovered bodies from 103 and AF 447. If we all remember, although 103 broke apart at altitude many of the recovered bodies were fully clothed. (Reference: "my boy", "the man in the suit", etc.) So, in answer to someone's query earlier this week: because the bodies that were recovered from AF 447 were clothed, or not, I believe is indicative of nothing as far as a break up at altitude or not.
Perhaps i"m incorrect.
Then again, this supposition does nothing toward understanding what the CAUSAL factors of AF 447's destruction were.
