Can anyone familiar with the A321-231 advise whether this particular aircraft was fitted with auxiliary (or additional) centre fuel tanks?
I understand the A321 always has a range problem with long-distance routes, and it appears up to 2 ACT's of 3000L each can be fitted in the forward hold area?
If this is the case with this particular aircraft, then a fuel-fed explosion from the ACT or ACT's, initiated by a small explosive charge located near to them, is increasingly looking like the potential scenario.
