"One thing seemed certain - the fate that befell the 228 people aboard the Airbus A330 jet came so swiftly the crew didn't have time to send out a Mayday.
Jane's Aviation analyst Chris Yates said: "There has been no mayday call. The conclusion to be drawn is something catastrophic happened on board that caused this aeroplane to ditch in a controlled or uncontrolled fashion.
"I would suggest that potentially it went down very quickly and so quickly that the pilots on board didn't have a chance to make that emergency call."
Dr Guy Gratton, Senior Visiting Research Fellow in Aeronautics at Brunel University, said: "There was no message. That is very, very surprising. The A330 has multiple communications systems, so a complete loss of communications at the least means a major electrical failure. Such failures are very rare." Of the two most likely causes for such the catastrophe, one - a terrorist bombing or hijacking - was ruled out.
The other, extreme weather, was being considered. Experts said it could have been hit by lightning - but the Airbus 330 has two or three back-up systems and for lightning to knock them all out without anyone being able to send a warning would be "almost impossible".
Even failure of both engines would give the crew half an hour of "gliding time".
The first thing is to find out where it is. It may have been reporting its position by satellite. It is very unusual that there is no location information."
