[CARTOUCHE]

I read in last week's Aviation Week and Space Technology that radar indications of the break-up showed an unusual trajectory of some of the aircraft, in that, an object or a part of the plane was travelling at high speed in a direction opposite that of the plane's heading. Missile perhaps? Speculative, but in light of the China/Taiwan tensions, as plausible a cause as metal fatigue in an older model 747?

At least in that country, they actually find the "black boxes" from their planes.
