Agreed 90%.
For those looking for 10% left facts, three other things we know yet are:
- that stolen and/or faked passeports (number no less than 2, perhaps more) were used to board the aircraft; so far, this is unconclusive.
- that the aircraft was involved in a wing clipping in 2012, subsenquently repaired and returned to flight status; so far, this is unconclusive.
- that the "most online" figure of PPRuNe was raised yesterday, from its precedent record dated june 1, 2009 (i.e. 447).
