From that site:

German news station n24 just reported about the incident.

Eyewitnesses (including the F16 pilots) reported that the a/c smashed into the mountain with full speed. Debris are spread widely over the crash site.

The pilot obviously reported problems with the aircondition after takeoff in Larnaca, but the problem was considered to be rather harmless.

And then the news lady applied for the Pulitzer price when she declared that a technical failure can be excluded, and the only explanation is that hijackers entered the cockpit and shot the pilots down...

Another:

Reports of "air conditioning problems" are rather odd given the crew obviously became incapacitated. Had there been a real problem the crew would immediately don oxygen masks as a precaution whilst reporting the problem.

Lack of oxygen, whilst it quickly befuddles, doesn't immediately incapacitate and there are very definite procedures to be followed. There have been cases of Lear Jets (one US, one German) where the air conditioning/oxygen failed and the crew passed out BUT these were at cruise levels above 36,000 and there was no notification from the crew.

Given that this aircraft seems to have impacted a mountain, unless the voice recorders give some more info, the post mortems will be critical to answering what looks to be a rather odd set of circumstances.
