Really ? In what ?
Explain !
It confirms the evidence so farsuggests the problem initiated either in the suspension bar assembly or gearbox and they are looking for more parts to confirm which. They are also investigating the conical housing.
Hence why on day two AH told ops to check items associated with these failures modes but seemed to suggest based on the presentation of the wreckage they thought suspension bar theory more likely. They couldn't say so for many reasons; not least that like AIBN they couldn't be certain.
So we now know they haven't yet recovered enough debris to do more than hypothesise about the cause.
Currently we don't know for certain what happened let alone why.
So AIBN have been honest and open and said they are still searching.
So it is helpful in that it is absolutely clear where they are and what they are doing and also why that is all they can say at each stage.
