The U.S. Department of Defense is sending 19 specialists in Natal, Brazil… The American team will consist of professional soldiers and under contract, it has been noted in a press release from the army...

What about the ‘Q-corner’ and pilot error?
No documented evidence of Pilot error...(the French Gov’t won’t even tell us which pilots were even in cockpit). As far as Coffin Corner - A few believe (minority) this starts as early as 0210UTC. In any case, they had a very small window (both upside and downside)...
...If the Pitot icing can explain what happened that made the normal flight into one of warnings and failures… i.e: transition into phase2, and that phase 2 data shows the crew doing the QRH items for ADR1+2+3 fault… which cabin pressure to manual IS part of the procedure…
We are still left with a big gap on what happened after 0214UTC…
Whilst I and a few others suspect that the aircraft had transitioned out of phase2 into phase 3 (the so-called “transition into doom”), the data we have point that at 0214UTC, the aircraft was not in phase3, and unlikely to have started the transition into phase 3.
The big question is… what happened after 0214… I guess on this one, electrical failure is a BIG possibility…
Loss of control is possible… basically, you name it, [and] it’s possible after 0214UTC…
