Sorry for appearing so dull earlier. We all knew this aircraft was taken out by a mine 16 months ago. The explosive event that I was referring to was a fuel tank explosion caused by fragments piercing the fuel tank. Have been flying, not had a good chance to look carefully at the BOI, but if someone can post the pictures of the ac on the strip again, it looked very much as though the fuel tank exploded. The BOI referred to a subsequent fire with no mention of a fuel tank explosion. Would appreciate some confirmation was this an omission or did it not happen?
