All demonstrably untrue statements.


You say then..."certainly not..."

My perverse mind sees it differently, here's why....


There is evidence the tyres were rotating in the horizontal, you agree.

That is positve proof of misalignment, a condition certified by BEA themselves as abnormal.

For the statements in the quote to be true, you offer a lack of evidence that the condition existed elsewhere. The source of your evidence of absence is blurry photography of a carbon stained runway.

Positive evidence (BEA close up photgraphy) is provided that the condition exists. A lack of evidence that it occurred elsewhere is the basis of a professional conclusion, by BEA that it had no effect on the outcome.

To a doubting reader, it seems that proof without evidence exists when the conclusion is foregone?

The "Explosion"? Have we proven without doubt it was not caused by the tyre blowout?

That would be impossible, right? Because it occurred after the fire started, and defeats the tyre as cause of fire?

hmmm......
