I know this exists with commercial pilots who are at the height of their careers ( and pay scales) offline as well. It all depends on how much they trust you as a friend face to face. It takes quite a lot to get the dirty words such as '"terrorism" out into the open.
I read an article today which strongly suggestst that there could have been an explosion on the plane. "Huge explosion of white light" was the term used. It was in a UK newspaper, where they tend to tell more than most of Europe does in its news releases and publications.
I think it's entirely possible to have both inclement weather AND an incinderary device on the exact same flight.
Remember, France, which owns the aircraft in question and which has the most to lose from the surviving relatives, was the country which told the world that Princess Diana had " a broken arm" but was stable for HOURS after the fatal crash which killed her. She was never stable, she was resuscitated on the scene and was obviously in critical condition, barely showing signs of life for hours.
Just keep that in mind when you read the news reports. The French are the least- forthcoming of our allies. It is the nature of their news media.
