The possible airplane seats that were burnt. How flammable would they be if they actually were airplane seats? Would there be metal frames in a 777 airplane seat? Do those frames have serial numbers on them? Or possibly any other kind of identification?
Seats are an optional item and vary widely between airlines.
Most older varieties have a metal frame, many modern ones are of composite construction. Fabrics and foam fillings are treated with flame retardants but they will burn eventually.
