The thing is, none of us were there. We don't really know what the availability of fuel was--or cost. The investigation is not complete. And I agree that all the video interpretation so far is approaching the absurd.
The only thing obvious to me is a complete loss of control shortly after becoming airborne, followed by a low altitude stall and impact.
The video evidence of this accident, like the Sept 11 attack on the WTC and Pentagon seems to encourage more speculation than usual.
I appreciate some speculation in order to learn some brief lessons, but this is too much now. A load shift seems likely. Check your loads before departing. Always tell your loved ones "I love you" before you leave.
What else is there to learn at this point? Not much.
