Just about anybody living in Toulouse is an "aeronautical expert" in the eyes of the reporter of a local newspaper. The article doesn't say that the individual has any connection to the investigation conducted in the vicinity, nor what expertise he has regarding the flotation characteristics of a B777 flaperon which, in all probability, is not designed or manufactured in Toulouse.
