Right now we are talking about a possible stall during the final moment of the approach. So very low altitude, low speed ( low potential energy, low acceleration and so low force at the moment of the crash) and a motion almost vertical caused by the stall. Thinking to these thing I can't imagine a "pulverization". I think even to the accident occured the Turkish 737 in AMS. Same situation of a stall above the runway but in that situation the fuselage of the 737 was not destoyed at all. Of course I can be wrong!

Originally posted by Geebee View PostNot being an (aeronautical) engineer i obviously can be wrong. But the 'pulverization' you mention is not only a matter of altitude but also the result of mass x speed. Similar like with the crash of the Polish presidential plane, this plane was on final approach and close to the runway. Apparently the combination of the mass of the plane and it's speed (even though not high enough to avoid a stall) are sufficient enough to completely disintegrate the plane. But I agree that it is pretty scary. Surprisingly even that someone survived.
May they rest in peace.
Any other thoughts?

No, it´s a myth nothing more."The real CEO of the 787 project is named Potemkin"

You are right, we are not sure about when and how the truth will come out. But with all these "evidences" in theory we have to wait much less than a lot other accidents, first of all AF447. Then everything can happen, every accidents are different and we can tell whatever we want but sitting behind a pc, with just a little more than normal knowledges we cant express anything express but our thoughts.
