Questions for someone with greater aviation knowledge than I (which I have none).

11. The trick if you are investigating anything is to start with I don't know.

I don't know is where you must begin if you hope to learn the truth. I don't know why the plane crashed. Investigators start with the basics. Was the plane intact when it crashed? Was the nose, tail, and both wingtips attached? If these four corners were still attached, then you have reason to believe, not know, that the plane was intact. Other parts of the plane may have detached causing the crash.

Something as silly as a missing screw, or a handful of missing screws can cause a catastrophic loss of control and accident. Here is a good example of that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Express_Flight_2574

They were changing the de-icing boots on the tail of the plane. They ran behind in the procedure, and did not finish one side. Poor communication between shifts was the final straw in this disaster. A handful of missing screws caused the leading edge of the Stabilizer to partially detach, and the plane became unflyable. Chuck Yeager, test pilot of fame and legend could not have gotten that plane down safely after the loss of the leading edge of the stabilizer. The plane was doomed.

I read that INTERPOL has ruled out terrorism. I think that is a little early to rule out anything. We have to start with I don't know if we hope to learn the truth. I don't know what caused the crash, and neither does anyone else at this point. Hell, it could have been a collision with one of the stealth drones. It is a big sky, but it can be rather crowded at times.
