Another huge success for accident investigation. Thoughts are with families AND emergency workers.

Is there a map anywhere showing the location of all the major pieces discovered to date?
I always thought the midair break up theory was quite unlikely given the scarce floating debris and bodies.

An update: AirAsia crash 'not due to terrorism' - investigatorsNot much revealed as yet. However, a few hints gathered from the recorders: The last bit particularly, specifically talking about weather impact on plane's engines is a bit interesting. And also this telegraph article says that they will be examining the aircraft's 72 previous flights on the data recorder as well.

The fast climb and stall scenario seems to be derived from radar data. If it is true, then the major question is the reason for the climb. I don't think the crew would have deliberately climbed so fast, or that flight enveloppe protections would have allowed it, so what made them climb ?
As an explosion is said to have been ruled out, are we left with an unprecedented - and terrifying - updraft, or could there be another reason ? Could some cargo moving aft be enough to make the aircraft climb as she did ?

What is the maximum climb rate for an A320? In this little youtube clip, Bruce Dickinson ( ) manages to achieve 5,000 ft/min with full back stick and TOGA which I would think pretty much give the maximum angle of attack (alpha floor prot activated) and thrust under normal operations.
