That doesn't mean that any problems the crew may have encountered was at that precise moment. It could have been any time after 02:48.
The ATC timeline seems to add a lot of useul informacion. We know thebpilots werent communicating for at least 2 mins prior to disappearin off radar. Its stretching the boundaries of probability that this is coincidente. Something stopped them talking.
However, during this perio the plane was flying normally therefore, this seems to discount a sudden bomb planted at the airport. If a bomb went ofd you dont get 2 mins straigjt and level then disappear. Something happened inside the plane. Of course who know it could have been fire leading to loss of comms that thwn ruptured the plane. Only one of so many possible theories rigt now.
