German news stations also said that there must have been a fire. After that you don't really feel comfortable, especially if we discuss an a/c type that "we all fly":
AA
BA
LH
UA
But since March 24th, 2015, I know that Airbus provides reliable aircraft.

SR 111 for me was the last uncontrollable fire in a jet in Europe, due to aircraft failure. So, I am interested in a solution for this flight,
not only as a passenger in Europe, but also as an aviation enthusiast.The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

And constantly advanced, 744 and 748 /w upper and lower EICAS.

The lack of intact human remains is another indicator of a midair breakup, experts said.

Most data suggests that there was a fire...and then the plane crashed. Seems to make good sense, and whether it hit the water in tact, or broke up 'due to loss of control' is less important. The 'new' 'leaks' generally support that scenario.
The question needs to be what started the fire.Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.

The matter has been a subject of diplomatic struggle between France and Egypt over the past weeks, as France put pressure on Egypt to release remnants of bodies to relatives. Now we know (officially) what may have caused the delay

This seems to point to a bomb on board but we also know there are other possible explanations for explosive reside on certain passengers. The flight recorders have been in their possession for ages, so they should know a lot of other things that would tell us if a bomb could have brought this plane down. The key question is: what caused the plane to lose control and plummet into the sea? Was it an initial explosion? Doesn't seem to fit. Decompression also wasn't indicated in the ACARS data. Was it a subsequent fire that could not be extinguished? Seems likely, but why did it spread so fast? Was it obsolete insulation materials? Arcing circuitry beyond detection by cb's? Bomb or not, these are the things we need to know. And they should have a lot more than explosive residue to work with. Again, will we ever see a report on this???
