One of the Fox News’ reporters seemed almost gleeful at the prospect of this being mechanical, and not terrorist.

Doesn’t mean it was in the bathroom either. They will figure it out. My bet is terrorism.

Okay, the smoke detectors alarmed. I’m assuming they don’t have explosion detectors. A bomb detonated in the lavatory near the cockpit and over the avionics bay would set off the smoke detectors.

"below the floor of the cockpit"

Some of these aircraft have equipment rooms people can stand up in. Are these rooms checked for stowaways or terrorists before the plane departs?

Also, this COULD HAVE been a low yield explosive that tore a hole in the side of the aircraft which would give enough time for an error code to be transmitted. This could have been a bomb, not JUST a 'mechanical fire'.

No mayday report was sent. The track of the aircraft as shown in simulation shows aircraft making a 360 turn and then suddenly diving to the ocean. This took several minutes and if the pilot or co were alive it is inconceivable there would be no mayday call.

These transmission codes they are talking about are useless since they don’t and can’t tell WHAT caused the smoke.

Trump was not the first to speculate it was terror related. This made Clinton look bad so possibly an attempt to salvage something for her.

If it was a fire that took out the AVIONICS bay, quite possibly it took out the radios and navigation equipment. That would have made it impossible to communicate with the ground via the radios. Might have taken out the autopilots ability to fly the airplane hence the turns noted. IF it was a fire, have to ask what started it? Was it terrorism or something else? I bet they have a good idea but aren’t saying.

If the avionics caught fire, why would there be smoke in the bathroom 1st before it was detected near the avionics? Smoke would be smelled by the pilots, and mentioned?

I saw that report on Fox, and immediately thought of Flight 800 - the old “wiring” excuse.

I hope it wasn’t terrorism, but trust in government and media, once lost, is almost impossible to regain. I no longer trust “them” to give us anything but the story they want to sell to keep the sheep calm.

Too many have too much to lose if this was terrorism, and it is so easy to confabulate and misdirect to alleviate fear from the flying public. Sort of like Baghdad Bob - “nothing to see here”, ?don’t believe your lying eyes”.

I still hope it wasn’t terrorism, but nothing the media says will convince me of that.

where on the plane is the “R fixed window sensor” ? directional-to the right or to the rear? or row identified?

It was TERRORISM.

Any form of denial is futile.

Here is a good video on the A320's Flight Control Protections. If indeed there was a fire affecting the FCU's this COULD explain why the airplane crashed. click here

This explains the erratic flight path.

They blew the tail section off.

Why wouldn’t there be a prtable radio in the cockpit?

I flew a Cherokee 180 with 2 radis in the stack and also another hand held just in cass of a power loss.

Never a good idea to fly with Muslim pilots OR Muslim passengers OR Muslin cabin attendants OR from a Muslim country OR to a Muslim country.

Doing all at once may result in an unscheduled water landing.

‘Fixed Window Sensor’ alarm indicates a window was blown out, no?
