The mystery of the cause of the Air France Flight 447 disaster continues to grow each day due to the conflicting Government leaks in Paris. This is what happens when the Government owns part of the Airline. How can the French Government investigate itself? They has lost all credibility into the investigative process. Why is no one investigating the possible Rio airport security breaches and its relationship to this disaster? Is it not time for the NTSB to consider grounding all affected Airbus model flying into US airspace?...

...French investigators suggested that the cockpit was empty when the plane dropped without warning into the ocean. They offered no theories about whether the pilots had left the cockpit voluntarily…

If the Rapture came, I think it missed me.

The Rapture slid right on by me as well.

Considering the “Rudder Limit Reached” was the first fault reported by the ACARS, I would guess that the vertical stabilizer separated right after that, with the aircraft entering a flat spin. A flat spin could explain the resulting speed errors.
Remember the Rock-away crash, the first thing they found/recovered was the intact vertical stab with the rudder attached, the same as in this instance.
They blamed that on the copilot inducing rudder movement in response to wake turbulence.
I submit that the Airbus FBW system is capable of “uncommanded full rudder movement resulting in structural failure of the vertical stabilizer attach points
