I haven't heard anything reported on the subject on way or the other. Personally, I don't have much faith in the truthfulness of either the media or the government. There is so much going on that we are not being told that I will always question the information that is "fed" to us.

I personally liked the way the NTSB announced it was working on the theory that this was an accident BEFORE the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, or other critical parts of the plane had even been recovered.
