Tim Vasquez has a detailed meteorological analysis of AF 447 here:

There's also a number of pictures of satellite data tied with the estimated location of the plane. Sad stuff.

Very sad. May angels lead them in.

Yeah, tragic.

Now, I just realized I had posted this to the wrong message board. Doh! Still, it's worthwhile to discuss.

Near as I've read so far, it seems there's a possibility that engine icing might be at fault.

Ya that link you posted mentioned icing, hail, lighting, and high winds occurring in the area of the crash. They could have easily caused midair breakup of the airplane.
