Of course there is the possibility that this will never be solved. Kinda
like the perfect murder isn't it?

I thought the definition of a perfect murder to be one where there is doubt
that a murder was commited.

I have read a lengthy report on the net (sorry but I cannot find the link)
which maintains that there have been several 747 fuselage failures in the
cargo door areas and while I do not believe everything I read, does make me
ask just how confident we can be that this tragedy was in fact caused by a
bomb. Is the bomb hypothesis confirmed by hard evidence or could the damage
have been caused by rapid depressurization? It has been reported that there
were crash survivors who perished in the cold water so the ac can not have
hit that hard.
