One of the problems of so much speculation here is that there are various scenarios that cannot be ruled out and it seems a lot of people then become convinced that one or other of the possibilities is reality, and then continue to try to find more and more reasons that it is what really happened - when in reality until there is evidence to rule out options that could not occur, then the possible scenarios remain just speculation no matter how well informed.
It is also of concern that there are journalists who are reading this forum, as well as pilots and pax, and that some journalists are using the speculation from this forum to present in news websites - I have seen one news website yesterday, that used one of the scenarios discussed earlier in this thread as if it was factual information. Please therefore think carefully, before posting, about the consequences of what you say here. Remember also that there may be others reading this forum who may not merely be interested bystanders but could have mal-intent, so information passed in postings could be used for malign purposes, even if there are other sources of similar detail.
