Interesting information should come from passenger iPhones. I find it hard to believe that if things are obviously going wrong, with crew-member(s) frantically trying to break through the cockpit door, that no-one videoed it. Again speaking from ignorance, but I assume you only need an intact chip, as opposed to an intact iPhone, to pull such a video clip, or a Dear Wife / Kids note from iPhone notes, or even failed texts.
Lousy way to spend 18 minutes watching that unfold.
The failure to release crew names puzzles me. Why not if the locked cockpit story is NYT cr4p and the powers-that-be are suspecting mechanical /electrical fault or crew incapacitation?
