I have a question for those in the know;
Why with this accident, is the aircraft so destroyed, the debris so small? Yet other accidents, where the aircraft came down from crusing altitude (MH17, Lockerbie).. was the wreckage much larger and recognisable?
Although I am not in the know, the answer seems fairly obvious - it slammed into the mountain at high velocity, according to various graphs posted in this thread which show a severe drop in altitude but almost no drop in speed.
