Never flown a 747-400F but deeply involved in aviation safety issues. Following the twenty plus pages of discussion on this sad event I’m really stunned that this topic is spinning around and around an initial preconception of „load shift” or C.G. problem thrown in for our attention by somebody at a very early stage. After this momentum everybody’s mind is focused on this scenario.
Well at least they're following Occams's razor
You can't begin to stifle discussion by stating that they haven't finished the investigation far enough to release more data.
It's the investigators job to keep the public aware of new developments that could have a bearing on continued airworthiness.
I agree that not every nuance has to be prematurely released, but at least at regularly scheduled status briefings (we haven't had one yet?) the updates need to at least address major Hypothesis with facts , not opinions
