From the latest reports I've read now they are talking about the plane breaking up in the air in the storm. I can't think of a scenario that an extreme updraft or downdraft would be enough to break up the plane. Jim, you have any thoughts on this?
If indeed the plane did break up in air, to me this does sound like either, terrorism, a military mistake, or some other catastrophic event similar to what happened to the TWA flight that exploded outside of NYC after the Olympics a few years back.
