Just relaying some information here. I heard a discussion on the radio a few minutes ago and they were talking to someone from NTSB. The NTSB guy said that one of the transponders that was turned off is not that easy to disable (like flipping a switch). Pilots are not trained to do it and it would take someone with a maintenance background to do it...somebody with specialized knowledge. So, it had to be deliberate.
Thanks Maggie
