I don't believe it had anything to do with terrorism. Why would the pilot dump his fuel if the plane exploded?
The jet was also cruising at 34 thousand feet. Most planes have air sensors, so if this was equipped with air sensors, I'd check to see what the air density was at 34 thousand feet. Then I'd check to see if the air was dense enough to keep the jet fins rotating. Of course, that is just my opinion in understanding how air density changes with the current state of Earth's climate.

As the hunt for the missing Malaysian Air jumbo jet (click here) gained momentum Sunday in the South China Sea and Malaysian intelligence agencies were investigating potential terrorism, hopes were all but gone for the 239 passengers and crew.
Military ships and aircraft from a half dozen nations continued to pour into area, searing for the Boeing 777 that vanished suddenly and without warning early Saturday morning, two hours after a scheduled six-hour flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
A search found two large oil slicks off the southern tip of Vietnam Saturday, but an overnight search that extended into Sunday afternoon yielded no signs of wreckage. Rodzali Daud, head of the Malaysian air force, said Sunday that military radar indicated the plane may have veered off course or attempted to turn back.
Speculation on the cause of the crash ranged from catastrophic mechanical failure to terrorism, fanned by a flight manifest which showed two passengers had flown with stolen passports....
