This was confirmed by forensics held in Brazil.

If this is true, what kind of wind (or water) velocity can tear clothes off ?
I believe wave action is known to remove clothing, as well as decompression - the recovered bodies were floating for considerable time.

Water in-rush on impact might also do it

As would decompression and ejection at altitude - but other evidence points away from that. Hopefully the data from the boxes will give us definitive answer soon
