Has anyone considered that the kerosene quality might be to blame?

  Whats the failure mode with bad kerosene? The rapid loss of height doesn't sound like a failed engine or similar.

  Typically the crash investigation folks are open to considering every angle. Reputable airworthiness investigation programs will conduct a root cause analysis and compile a comprehensive report that can take months, sometimes even years. Until more evidence and/or debris is found it's pointless to speculate as to the cause.

  I dont understand what this comment is supposed to accomplish. Its just a wild random guess?

  That sounds like it would cause engine failure. If your engine fails at a reasonable altitude soon after takeoff, you don't suddenly nose-dive, you glide back in to land at the nearest airport as every pilot regularly trains for.
