Although I am not a proponent of conspiracies, I still do not understand the departure of both engines so quickly either during the rudder deflections or immediately after the departure of the fin. I feel that there is a missing link here that none of us see yet. IMHO, the lateral forces the aircraft suffered should not have been great enough to fail both engine pylons. After reading all of the documentation that has come out over the past several weeks, the failure of the engines is never really discussed other than to acknowledge that it happened. I think the key to this discussion is not what we see, but what we don't see. The challenge is to determine the final configuration of the aircraft immediately prior to impact, and to work backwards from there to figure out what it would take to get it to that configuration. Each party has delivered volumes of information, but no one has addressed all of the questions. That bothers me.
