Maybe they were having an orgy in the cockpit?

The latest evidence indicates - breaking up in the air at (almost) full altitude. The passengers found so far were stripped and had broken bones all over but no signs of fire or explosive impacts on their bodies. Furthermore they were found in two groups approx. 50 miles separated. Theory is that the fuselage broke up in air, the bodies fell and were stripped by the drag and smashed hitting water at 120mph in two areas depending on from which part of the aircraft body they fell.

Also the lack of tied up flight attendants indicates that they were moving around in the cabin, which again means: No alert was given.

A theory: all pitot tubes frozen and thus indicating speed too low thus informed the auto pilot to increase speed and thus took them into super sonic...

All while pilots were asleep and everything seemed to be business as usual.

Air France uses French made Thales pitot tubes only. Others like Lufthansa rely on US made pitot tubes. Maybe a good reason for that...
