I've actually heard that they have NOT ruled out a bomb or other kind of attack. As I've read it, weather is just the most likely suspect at the moment, given that they were flying into a pretty massive storm. That makes a missle attack unlikely, which just leaves the bomb theory. Which is the one that really worries me since the Shoe Bomber intended to do something very similar - crash a plane in the deep ocean.
