A fire doesn't explain how the plane got off track, at least not to me. Any fire is going to consume that aircraft and cause it to crash in a very short timeframe. If a fire was the reason for the turnabout, then I think the plane would have crashed in the first 30 minutes or so following. To burn to the point of incapacitating everyone on board but yet allow the aircraft to fly for 7 hrs is so improbable I can't even entertain it.
I'm really leaning towards a malicious act at this point.
