Sad News,
The lack of communication point either the pilots are incapacitated or a total and catastrophic structure failure which severed all electric circuit. Either of which could be the hint at why the pilot did not send out distress. However, if I remember correctly, a 777 would send out distress signal on its own when the power is about to cut via the transponder. See, when the transponder is about to cut from electricity power, the capacitor stored the remaining electricity and will switch the transponder squawk code from civilian code (Usually 1xxx, 2xxx or 3xxx) to an emergency code (7xxx I forgot as it was nearly 10 years ago..) And the code will appear on ATC radar until the signal is lost.
At a flight going 905-950 Km/h, it will take approximately 10 minutes to drop from FL350 to sea level. by then depends on if the planes break up and how the planes break up, debris can travel up to 20 Kilometers
The passport thing should not view as seriously as of now, with no terrorism intension and no one claim responsibility, the fake passport could mean anything. From people who don't want their identity to show to drug trafficking. It's not at all uncommon to have people travel under a fake name, and a fake/stolen passport.
PS. I used to be a flight attendant from Scandinavian SAS
