Going to take years, if even then, to figure this out, IMO. Yeah, we will shortly get a "Press Conference" that will say nothing. What we can know at the moment is. 1) It happened during the hottest period of re-entry when we were out of communication with it. That means little or no telemetry to help in the investigation. 2) The most obvious guess would be a tile breakdown that lead to the heat buildup causing the craft to come apart. 3) The pieces we get will be so shattered that it will be doubtful if they are of much help in figuring out the cause. No "Black Box" out of this crash.
