So the Internet seems to be certain that this was depressurization -> pilot out -> continue on autopilot until flameout -> goodbye into Baltic Sea. Questions: Why was it specifically NATO jets that intercepted the plane? If contact had been lost in Spain or France, wouldn’t it have been a Spanish/French matter? Why let it fly for so long over populated areas (it went straight over Cologne Bonn Airport and passed closely Luxemburg and Paris and later Hanover)? If it was truly a ghost plane on autopilot, one would have had to fear a terror attack no? Next question. Presumably planes have safety installations for the case of depressurization? It seems a bit simplistic to me to say, „oh, depressurization, case closed“. Further, I note how close the presumed crash site is to Kaliningrad and that so far no debris appears to have been found.
