I haven't read an article on this that does not imply terrorism.
I actually did that job for the better part of a decade. That is, radar on an E3. I have seen more planes crash on radar, including a shuttle, then I like to remember. I do not ever recall seeing a stall like this that was mechanically related without a single call from the flight deck. It mostlikely was not mechanical failure, no notification from any of the onboard sensors, no radio call from the pilot, no calls of running emergency checklists. The radar shows a plane that tore left then right into a dead tailspin. Stalling, with no mechanical failures, implies someone either bumrushed the cockpit or they had a catastrophic decompression.
I am not really sure why you are implying it was not, I had no idea you were a member of the aviation community nor that you have experience with crashes/terrorist attatcks.
