I am going wait, unlike the media, in jumping to speed related conclusions. 5103 makes some interesting points. The damage and location of the engine may not have required "excess" speeds on this curve, just good old fashioned mass and gravity could explain it, even at the applicable speed restriction for that curve.

Yes, the general level of ignorance in all things requiring any actual knowledge of science or math in the media is appalling.....as usual.

Without getting into detail, there are several other potential "mechanical" issues that have cropped up lately, that also could have caused this accident. I am interested in the official black box speed and braking results, before believing what people of dubious reliability may post on "twitter"......
