I heard it was a wind shear. A 30 kt headwind turned into a 45kt tail wind in a split second,
Reluctant to get involved with this racial mud slinging, and all from the same direction. So Swedes and Canadians are on some hit list too. It's a pity others have not learned a history lesson centuries old. The Swedes were one time the imperialist power of 'old' Europe. Now they are an example to all. On the American continent, the Canadians were a good example until they started 'rendering' their citizen to a foreign 'hostile' power. Corruption of laws emanate from one source.

Back to the thread. One passenger interview stated that about a minute before the 'crash' all power was lost. Wind shear does not do that. He believed that they were struck by lightening. It was the middle of an intense storm.

Now for my dig, but I've broad shoulders. Weren't they luck it was a European Airbus. Let's see if there are moves to ban them from US skies.
