Modern aircraft just don't break up in flight without something else first happening. Someone has pointed out that this aircraft has had structural wing damage, and like China #611, I think maybe safe to say that it was also not repaired in accordance with the Boeing SRM.
Previous damage and some CAT.....
Godspeed.

A whole lot of reasons. Fractures could have been expanding and this was the flight that did it in and the airplane broke up in flight, there could have been a suicidal pilot, or there could have even been confusion in the cockpit which led to a loss of situational awareness.

Maybe an instant fire in or around the fuel tank that happened so fast the plane exploded before any message could be sent. Kind of like the challenger crash (no data explained it until it was deeply researched by Richard Feynman)

Read the Air France 447 report for one way it could happen. Read the United 93 (or any of the 9/11 flights) report for another way. Pan Am 103, etc.
These planes were 'lost' by ATC, but eventually found.
Whatever happened, we'll find out eventually. 777's don't vanish for long.
