1. You won't see GD praising anyone except himself. He is a narcissist.
2. Not a bomb. No scorch marks, shrapnel damage, smoke in the cabin, fire and upwards failing floor of passenger cabin as well. An explosion is an overpressure event.
3. There is no way a fairing failure could have triggered this. Boeing's FMEA committee would have seen to that in the design phase.
4. Unless I'm mistaken, there is a chunk of skin in the middle of the hole that appears to be missing and is at the bottom of the China sea.
5. It will be interesting to see if this aircraft ever returns to service. I'm not sure it will considering the location of the hole, but what would I know?
