It's a bit late for the victims to be 'blessed with fair winds and clear skies' when they're apparently all dead as a result of a plane crash, don't you think?

From the sounds of the report, it sounds like a pressurization problem because of mention of the altitude oscillation above FL400.  Either that or an uncontrollable trim issue, only finding of the aircraft and the black box, assuming it had one, will tell.  Aircraft crashes are always hard on those of us who fly often and celebrate flight, they do not happen too often but when they do, the feelings outpour from us.
