Mechanical sabotage
Petrol/fuseline sabotage 
Hijacking
Bird strike 
Mechanical / electronic aircraft issue
Engine issue

Pilot serious acute health issue[/quote]

[b]The way the wings were sagging[/b], I thought the plane was overloaded. The sole survivor mentioned a loud bang underneath, so I am thinking maybe the cargo became loose and shifted backwards, towards the tail. [/quote]

You clearly know nothing about the dynamics of these planes in flight.

The wings are [i]designed[/i] to flex upwards like you see in the video, for several reasons, from inducing roll stability from the wing dihedral to having a large degree of flex over the span of the wing to dissipate shock loads and vibration from turbulence. The wings on 777’s and 787’s are designed to flex upwards under flight up to ~15ft at the wing tips.
