People should stop doing this. Transport category airplanes are designed to suffer multiple failures and still be controllable. Why the airplane landed where it did, when it did, and how fast it did are the relevant questions.

I do not think speculations on HN are impacting the investigation in any way, shape or form, although I understand your perspective.

I do hope the investigation yields results that improve air travel safety.

They are and will negatively impact the final impression of the investigation results, namely an unwarranted focus on The Wall(tm) (people here are calling it the "Murder Wall", which demonstrates my point) which helps precisely noone.

The focus should primarily be on the plane, particularly in the interests of preventing a repeat.
