OK....but how come, Boeing Aircraft, hasn't issued a statement, on the incident....the silence is deafening...usually Boeing is quick off the mark to defend their products, whenever there is the slightest hint that their A/C, was mechanically unsound.

Boeing never issues statements "defending their products" after any crash. They know better than to do that as there will inevitably be lawsuits.

Boeing however, always releases a statement following the crash of any Boeing or McDonnell Douglas built aircraft.

An excellent observation, thank you. It seems that both Boeing and Locheed Martin equipment worked well.
