It would appear from remarks such as

....the mechanism leading to the tank rupture was not penetration by debris...Don't understand that....

and

....this a/c fuel tanks were not penetrated by anything from outside...Please explain....

that there are some significant gaps in your understanding of the Gonesse accident, and when you go on to say

...if the afterburner was not the source of ignition, what was? An electrical short? Friction? Far more likely a two foot flame...

you appear not to have read the findings of the French accident investigators, the BEA.

No real reason at all why you should have done, but it might be wise, before commenting further in public, to read the conclusions and findings that trained accident investigators came to over many months.

Who knows, you may just change some of your opinions!

The report is available, in English, by clicking here courtesy of, and copyright to, the BEA.
