MH370 Landing Gear report
There are a number of flaws in the reasoning that concludes that that recovered debris is from the main landing gear door. For starters, its external surface is the wrong colour. Further, it doesn't appear to have the correct structure - it appears to be too thin. As to the analysis that the doors were open and the debris was struck by separating fan blades, that's fanciful. If the doors were open the blade strike would be from the outside in, not from the inside out.
