I would of thought by now with the amount of vessels at sea around the Med. And the search n rescue air teams from military. Would of found much more debris and tell tale signs by now being 48+ hours gone now.
If the A/C had been ripped apart by bomb, fire, or sudden depressurization wouldn't there be far more ' plane' wreckage than just a few bits such as we see now?

It is so confusing - the ACARS stuff, actually, IMO leans me toward rapid decompression as oppossed to fire. But the AcARs was going for three minutes, so it was not an instant event .Decmpression makes a mist/fog like thing, which I think may have trigger the smoke sensers..
One would think a couple of things about a bomb, quicker (Acars on has to mean a relativily intact machine to run) . The drop in altitude , as oppossed to at that point falling out of the sky, now, IMO seems to be the cockpit crew doing what you do when decompression occurs - get down and quick.
So lets say the first drop was at the captains input- still in control of the aircraft.. Decompression is rough (!) on fueslage skin! The plane had been worked hard. So lets say on the controlled decent , intially, the plane experieced more stressers and started to truly but realivily slowly , shed some stuff, which adds to the problem obviously!
And at 9000 feet it was catastrophic structural failure. The items shown today had nothing to indicate, an explosion, fire or soot, and not really ( I am talking about soft stuff -like the purse clothing) was basically intact.
But if you think about they were now down to 9000 feet, not falling from 37000. I get the visualization of the light stuff sort of floating down . Just from the video today. A sneaker that looks brand new with a small hole. I must admit when I saw it, I pondering if we were being BSed - it did not even look like it had been marinating in salt water for hours??
If we are gonna say bomb, that probably would have ignited the fuel as well - so why is nothing showing any evidence of fire. The cockpit window stuff is also interesting- might that have been the intial weak spot from metal fatigue??
That kinda feels congruent, as well, with getting no reply from the plane a bit earlier in the sequence by the tower. They were busy dealing with an increasing issue, decompression is really loud, they might have not even be able to hear the tower calling - its loud!!( They must get on oxygen masks to live! Busy guys. Answering a tower when your world is going mad is a matter of priorites!! IMO
I feel as if the bathroom senser alarm was the one in the front right behind the cockpit as opposed to the image of a fire spreading from the rear bathroom. That would be congruent with (window in cockpit as start of structural failure.
Pure speculation for sure but the ACARS and debris , in conjunction with what I learned today about the actual flight utilization rates posted earlier. I was instantly struck when I saw how they were flying her, but did not have a concrete defination.
If you look at the numbers posted earlier -I expected utlization to a bit higher for other carriers than what I learned.
But it seems as if 10 hours in the air was round average, this thing was going 17 hours a day. That was much more of a difference than I thought. So basically it makes her much older than just the "purchase" date, and erronous perception created by media calling her a young girl!!
She was old, worked to death, and metal fatigue can often start slower and progress, which seems to be what was occuring as opposed to this sudden assualt on a planed. She was in control for the 17000 foot drop , ACARS reporting, so it just does not, today, hit me a truly instant deal.
I suppose we could say a bomb that was not all the big, or in the right location could initiate in flight breakup, but the visual of this plane blowing out of the sky , only IMO seems less than yesterday.
ACARS has a warning (AIR EXCESSIVE CABIN ALTITUDE) for rapid decompresion which did not happen?
This is really a good two minute deal of what I am starting to think. Notice a couple of things the mist that I think may have activated the smoke, the plane still relativily intact for a peroid of time. I think if we put this plane (Aloha) in the exact location as Egypt it would be the same result but but Aloha had an airport close.
I think this would start a smoke detector!! Here is decompression:

Pure specualation on my part!
