Agree that is the most likely scenario.
The stolen passports are far more likely to be illegal immigrants than terrorists.

Hard Brexit now!

The a/c was checked in the last two weeks. Not only that the B777 has an excellent safety record.

Feck me. And you claim to work in the statistical/probabilistic arena?
You really are a dense fooker.

But wouldn't a high altitude breakup be something the pilots would notice before it happens? Surely they should notice something odd with the instruments etc. and tell 'the tower' or whomever that all is not well?

Not if its a catastrophic breakup/decompression or something similar.
Something that immediately knocked out the pilots.
Indeed, given that they didn't "mayday" that's the most likely scenario.

One other possibility is that one of the pilots was a nutter and disabled comms before crashing the plane like the Egypt Air nutter pilot a few years ago.

A glitch in the matrix. Something must have been changed.

Breakup at altitude becomes plausible during the flight cycle once weight on wheels is transferred to the wings following take off. This has happened in the past but usually the time to event follow takeoff is very short. But this aircraft is allowed to reach 35,000 feet before this event? Pilot, crew, passengers would have heard something prior to this.
