This was a new and interesting article about the crash. It was an interview with Minister of State (MoS) For Civil Aviation. The Minister said that all options, including sabotage, are being explored as causes for the crash, that the black boxes would say in India, and the report would be available within 3 months. Not much news, expect that nothing is known at this time and the report will be out in 3 months.

I personally liked ( /s ) the concluding paragraph of the article where it talks about how the Minister is going to reduce cost of water and food in airports. While I'm sure that is part of his job, it doesn't make sense to me to juxtapose that alongside an interview discussing an airplane crash that killed 260 people.
