Re:That air crash - why no fire? 10 Years, 4 Months ago
Further guesswork - after information about a pilot not being able to get back into the cockpit - implies the other having a problem, collapsing and blocking the door, making it unable to gain access.
If that's so the question comes - what went wrong? A heart attack or stroke is the obvious conclusion but the recent story about poisoned air in planes (fumes etc) is bound to emerge again. For years I've said aircraft air (reconstituted farts) is not fit for breathing.

I would kill the lot with my gas !
Im not buying the cabin thing yet, more likely cabin staff banging trying to find out why they in a dive or passengers who were not straped in falling forward in the dive.
There is a way to get cabin door open from the outside known only by a few crew it takes a couple of minutes.

There probably was an initial flash explosion as the aircraft hit the ground, but it looks such a fragmented impact that any blaze on parts of the fuselage would quickly die out

latest information implies it was a deliberate act by the co-pilot (28 years old); that knobs needed deliberate turning and changing; suicide is being mentioned, apparently fairly common.

I've never seen a disclosure about the causes of an air crash as fast as in this case (it took less than 48 hours). Furthermore, there's no signal of fire on the site, despite planes usually take off completely fueled. It's very intersting.
