GreenDot, PJ2,
Bucket
What i find peculiar is that only one reverser bucket is warped and wrinkled as if the forward lower edge has been digging in the dirt and is deformed. The other bucket seems rather unscathed. I know it is impossible to draw any definitive conclusions from a single picture but i'm sure the investigators will look into this.
I agree that the lower bucket hit the ground. I however believe
that this happened on the RWY during rotate!
Deployed buckets
I noticed that during the
simulator tests that over-rotation is very likely if the reverser is deployed.
This would also cause a rain of SPARKS which might explain some
observations of an engine catching fire/explosion.
