That trail of best evidence leads to explosive decompression in a ruptured open cargo door event in a wide body airliner ...says Major Barry.

Major: Based on CVR spectrum analysis, you keep alleging that TW800 suffered explosive decompression from the forward belly door rupture.

Sir, at 13000 feet the cabin pressure differental is insufficient to effect "explosive" decompression. At such low altitude you'd get non violent rapid depressurization with some ear popping discomfort. Needless to say, the only "explosive" event was the center tank explosion.
