Have all the pax bodies been recovered yet? Possibly too early to discount a bomb blast.
No, they haven't, and we can assume that all never will be.

Without getting too grizzly, as time goes on less forensic evidence will be available.

In this instance, far more will be learned from the recovered airframe bits and pieces.

As far as the possibility of a bomb blast, we won't really know much more until more conclusive statements regarding the FDR are made and the data pod from the CVR is recovered and read.


Personally, I'm hoping the investigation reveals some issue which can be addressed and fixed so safety in the future is improved.

I think it's much easier to fix airframe and pilot problems than it is to fix the behavior exhibited by discontented, motivated humans.
