Yes it's all suspiciously quiet.

However rumour doing the rounds up here is that it was in an extensive ITCZ cloud band, experiencing significant static buildup (St Elmo's fire) and then suffered multiple TAT probe failures, resulting in multiple ADIRU failures, resulting in reversion to direct law flight and a diversion to SIN.

If true, comparisons with the Air France accident over the Atlantic will be inevitable.
