CONFUSING -

While there has been a certain amount of convincing 'evidence' presented, the one question that remains is, "Where was the co-pilot during the described maneuver???"

Given the NTSB scammed investigations of the past (and those they refused to investigate), I remain damned curious as to the more probable events.

Especially with the NTSB taking the position on the Thai B-737, either the entire Boeing fleet needs to be grounded immediately, or some data needs to be obtained from an independent laboratory.

In the Thai explosion, the NTSB failed to account for the ignition source. Hot vapors are not enough to ignite A-1.

An actual explosion of the center tank would have ignited the adjacent wing tanks via the vent system. So, what really happened?

I won't totally discount the SilkAir possibility, but I'd like to know more in the way of true facts.
