I have followed this and previous forums since the June 1st accident happened. Now that all is about to become clearer, I would take the opportunity to congratulate all posters for their most interesting inputs and help in the understanding of flight and commercial aviation.
My input, concerning this statement
"That is a fairly likely scenario. But if they are only 10 miles away from LKP was it God's hand that appeared in front of the plane and slowed it fairly rapidly and then let it fall in a stall? Facetiousness aside, what slowed the plane down so suddenly? It wants to fly and in four minutes it was in the water from 35000'. Where did all the plane's energy go? And more importantly, why?"
is:
What are the chances of a wall of supercooled water so dense as to be able to freeze the pitot tubes, slow and stall the plane, (crack the pilot's windshields), causing an upset?
What are the aerodynamics properties of such supercooled water as compared to air? Would af447 "fly" through it?
