The crash occured at 4:44 AM German time. It did not show up on any German sites I was monitoring until 8:30 AM. I read about here on FR long before I saw it on a German site.

Does any one know if that is SOP?

Didn't the first reports say there was no indication from the plane that there was a problem?

Yes, and those reports have been deep-sixed, just like the original eye witness reports in New York with Flight 587. First witnesses then reported an explosion AWAY from the tail, and then, all of a sudden, their reports disappeared. I watched the whole sequence of coverage that morning. This is identical!!! This is classic coverup, IMO.
