Did anyone see this TV show recently broadcast on public television in the U.S.?
The show included opinons from aviation experts and the likely causes were:
A small storm ahead of a larger storm likely blocked the instruments so the crew was unable to see the bigger more dangerous storm
Super cooled liquid water was present and likely clogged the pitots
A rapid shut down of automated flight controls ocurred within minutes
The crew was likely overwhelmed by cascading system failures and did not apporpriately adjust aircraft speed
The AC experienced a slow stall and impacted the ocean at a high rate of speed - belly down
