I think Chris is referring to what I call "Flipper doors", the panels that keep the boxes inside the cabinet when closed, and open and then stow "inside" the partition on either side of the opening. This is to hide the doors out of the cabin space when open. It is a neat design, but requires very thin profile partitions to save weight. This is not a stout structure, by any means, especially when loose from the cabin superstructure. As difficult as others believe it is, that these cabinets were not in the a/c when it impacted, it is, in my professional opinion impossible they were present. I am leery of the size of the "Thrown Clear" file.........
