Too many watch the shiny object, (FAA, AAIB, etc.) The problem is not the FOHE, Water does NOT belong in Fuel. The Piping picture in the Report is Upstream, and the quantity of Ice is disturbing before any discussion of the Trent starts to distract the public. Modifying the Trent and assuming GE and PrattWhitney are invulnerable to the Ice produced on test is presumptuous. Assumptions about Fuel caused BA038's demise, not the impacted FOHE.

It's the Fuel. Tanks weren't getting sumped, water was allowed to build in tanks between flights, improper engineering and sloppy Fuel practices are a danger sign, no less troubling for the entire fleet of a/c than Twins.

Where is the GC tape, the MSA from the Accident samples? That cannot be privileged or secret in a free society, anybody privy to the complete data generated in the Investigation? Beyond a certain reasonable time interval, (which I protest, obviously) the complete results need to be made public, not sequestered behind locked doors like in some ancient Eastern regime.
