That is my feeling also.

How do they know that terrorism is not involved before any data is in?

I noticed they were quite precise in their statement, though, that there was "no evidence of terrorism from the ground."

Naturally, they don't have any evidence from altitude. As a pilot, though inactive, there is always that internal dichotomy following an accident: the reaction of your heart, and the reaction of your brain and the drive to find out what happened.

Most of the reports I have heard have specifically said that there is no way it would be terrorist FROM THE GROUND. However, nobody has said anything about any other kind of terrorism; software or hardware caused to fail.
