Of the 43 'results of autopsy' mentioned, the conclusions by BEA are supportive of their first statement without benefit of pathologies. The seven remaining bodies are not mentioned as to kind and extent of trauma. Neither do we see determinations relative to those mentioned that perhaps do not support a different thesis. Long bone trauma and potential degloving unrelated to salt water immersion would be instructive, likewise any discussion of the ignored remains. People can break a pelvis by falling off a stairmaster, and break bones in the chest by sneezing. If belted, seated passengers would undoubtedly have incurred trauma relative to the entire body, not just the portion that supports a theory of level and compressive impact. On the other hand, perhaps this information is left out in deference to the families.
