1. But why were all of the electrical items 'off' at the same time? Radios, ACARS, SSR, ADS B squitter. I cannot believe that there is a single point of failure on the electrical system, nor that these devices don't have redundancy in the form of battery back up built in.
2. Why?
I would suggest a Pan Am 103 situation but the curious bit is lack of wreckage so far.
