Where Was The Other Engine?
WHERE WAS THE OTHER ENGINE?
The engine wasn't at the crash site.
The only two possible other choices for the engine debris were Indian Lake and New Baltimore. The engine was most likely lost at the same time of one of those two events, we can see it's foot print in the debris if this was the case.
Let's see the New Baltimore signature debris:
Half burned pilot manual
US postal mail (half burned canceled check, stock statement)
A lot of half burned webbing (the insulation on bottom of the plane)
They all have two characteristics: half burned and light weight. What can cause the material of bottom of the plane burned, while the plane wasn't? What could cause the light weight material half burned and fell out of the plane? Was it possible for the engine to explode, debris penatrated the US Postal mail bags, scratched the bottom of the plane and some debris penatrated into the cockpit?
If not, any other possible reasons?
We don't care how the engine exploded, if the engine got lost either at the Indian Lake event or New Baltimore event, the most likely it was New Baltimore. All light debris had burning marks.
Ok, let assume that the first engine was exploded above New Baltimore (maybe due to the rought handling of the plane, rock it up and down. The violent movements cause the engine to explode). The engine debris would traveling several miles forward, light debris showered down. (There should be another debris field with engine debris, several miles south east of New Baltimore, if this assumption is correct.
We mark this event on our time line:
Time 0 New Baltimore, one engine lost.
Time 45 First transponder signal
Time 90 Second transponder signal
Time 128 Indian Lake
Time 170 Lost last engine
Time 180 Crash
