#1 Theinvestigation's outcome may decide whether Russia = Darth Vlad will next be sending in Russian heavy forces andor SPETNATZ into Egypt + Sinai to find-n-destroy the plane's killers.

Also good for saving Egypt's COPTIC CHURCH + other Judeo-Christian denominations from Hard Boy threats = violence???

The possibility of retribution for MH17 should not be overlooked. In fact, all potential motives should be thoroughly run to ground.

#6 Following the Camp David accords Israel built super-sophisticated ectronics posts in the Negev on an escarpment that overlooks the Sinai. It was the first to use aerostats for that purpose. I would think that if anyone had a clue as to the disintegration of the airliner it would be Israel.

#9 Bird into the intake would be a little far-fetched (although some birds do fly at flight-level altitudes.), but it would disable the engine, not break up the a/c.

My kopecks are on on-board rapid decompression from structural failure. The question is how it originated.

#10 if it was an in cabin bomb or outside missile forensic investigation would probably discover it

a bomb near the fuel tank would be a bit more difficult to discover

#11 Latest on FOX is reporting no evidence of any sort of explosion, but I am leaning on that rather than structural failure and unless it was a Blackbird, do not see that as a cause of this magnitude. lost lots of motors and even windscreens to ducks, geese, buzzards, but always got the aircraft back, basically in one, albeit bloody piece. Even had a lawn dart and a tomcat each hit by Bambi. hornet lost its nose gear and both motors to fod, but came home and the tomcat just lost a brake line.
