One fact:
our beloved engine performed perfectly well on the LHRSIN leg (12 hours or more?), we are talking about several hours of continuous operation without a glitch. It cannot be a coincidence that something happened just after taking off from SIN, there must be a link in between the stop on the ground and the accident.
What a pile of old tosh...
The other day the fuel pump in my car quit. I had just stopped at McDonalds... I guess I need to interrogate the entire staff to figure out what they did. Damn them for breaking my fuel pump...
Mechanical things break. Often after they have been subject to a cooling/heating cycle, just like stopping off in Singapore for a drop of avgas, during which I presume they turned the engines off (cooling) and then on again (heating)....
FWIW: the fuel pump in my car had run fine for the 243,000 miles prior to my McDonalds stop, so those ba#@$rds really owe me.
