Obviously, too early to jump into any conclusions and I hate to speculate.
Heard from a former EK Pilot, this particular tail number was known as the "pig!"
(An old and heavy -300 with the -200 engines!)
Add the very high density altitude (49C and low QNH) with the possibility of tail wind and windshear. Making a lethal combination with a possible pilot fatigue!
Like the FlyDubai crash in Russia, there is an absolute news silence here in America!
Well, we have more important news here, like Trump's Tweets. Besides, Richard Quest and Marry Schiavo already solved the mystery on CNN. So, there is nothing left to talk about! :-)
