Plenty of good airfields to the west of the flight path, yet no turn
.strange.

Interesting that his track only changed 1 degree during the entire descent. When descent started, he was only 30 kilometers from Marseille, you would think there would be some sort of turn somewhere in 8 minutes.

From Le Dauphine’s pics, that is indeed extremely rugged-looking country. Not significant snow, though.

I think it was several days (or even weeks) before Bin Laden announced responsibility for 911.

The only thing Shep knows about steep and controlled decent is from the last man kneeling before him. Just woke up, kind of alarmed, reading about a horrible plane crash, then all of a sudden Im doubled up with laughter.
Me too!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
“SKY News: US National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan has issued a statement saying there is no indication the crash was the result of terrorism”
Good to know. Have they ruled out snakes yet?

Frequent fliers here can answer this, but isn’t 45 minutes a long time to reach cruising altitude ?

Fly by wire is safer than mechanical systems. Unless someone inserts malicious code, sets off an EMP device, experience a powere failure, or you're flying near CERN while high power tests are being conducted which inadvertanly affect aircraft flight control systems.

Or the known problem where pitot tube failures due to freeze-ups causing the fly-by-wire system to act abnormally. This has been a known issue with Airbus airliners with fly-by-wire systems for a number of years.

It is all speculation now I understand, but does not the debris field appear to indicate mid air explosion? Incapacitated crew/passengers possibly? Seems insidious IMO.

French news saying an explosion. But do they mean on impact or before?

I really think that if they had proof that it was a Jihad, it would never see the light of day. The same German leaders to be trusted are the same leaders who denounce their own people for being islamophobic for worrying about their country being turned into a Muslim nation.
