That is just down the road from my home. My Wife showed me the news while I was in the scenario.

Let's say a prayer for those lost and for their families.

And please, this time could we please not speculate, and instead just wait until the NTSB completes their work.

The plane seemed to be gliding in a controlled descent from the 5 seconds of video available.  Multiple engine failure from unknown causes is my guess (bird strike, fuel starvation, etc).  The depth of Trinity Bay probably played a large part in the scenario.  Several hundred thousand pounds coming to a halt immediately due to the mud.  That cargo surely shifted positions, right into the cockpit.

Ditto!

And then an expert chimes on in.

Ya, tiresome isn't it. Puma, you would well know that 767's cannot be made to descend at 7000 ft/min in the approach phase of the flight.

My opinion is that gravity brought the plane down.   :neener:

.... just wait until the NTSB completes their work.

Is there an average or "target" timeline on when they might be done?
