Another clue: the plane broke up/exploded soon after reaching cruising altitude. This could indicate a barometric-pressure trigger in a covert bomb inside of checked luggage.
Pan Am Lockerbie was my first thought when I saw the flightaware graph re: altitude vs. time/distance.
I’m no expert but if there’s debris strewn across that big of an area, it would have had to explode while in the air as they’re claiming currently?.....everything seems to point towards some sort of explosion during flight wether it was internal or external remains to be researched....The cause could be a number of things.... Explosive decompression could happen from many factors... Cargo Door, Emergency Exit, engine falling off and rupturing the fuselage... because it broke up mid-air doesn’t only come from a rocket or bomb as you know...
Here’s a good aerial view of the spread of the wreckage....

And could also indicate that pressurization of the cabin triggered a major break-up of the aircraft due to serious internal structural cracks. What we don't know is, are the charred wings and forward fuselage a result of fire while in flight or after crashing into the ground?
Based on ground wreckage photos, it appears the main wings hit the ground intact with the forward fuselage all the way to the nose cone.. Would this be possible in a bomb scenario? UNLIKELY!
