And that's really different

And I didn't base my arguments on the pics (or pic) alone.

That would be impossible, right? Because it occurred after the fire started, and defeats the tyre as cause of fire?
Yes indeed.
And because parts of tyre were found before the "Explosion" place, as shown in my previous post.
And because, as shown in my edit of the previous post, there is a more sensible explanation provided (even if somehow hidden in the appendix 6, which explains I didn't remembered it.
