what with you continually telling us the CAB, ALPA and posters here don't know crap.
Don't misquote me. I don't question the root cause of the accident, and didn't accuse anyone of not knowing crap.

What I said was that the CAB misinterpreted the breakup sequence, probably because it wasn't very important to them. I think the ALPA followed the CAB lead. In the course of this I've discovered the Chicago Tribune graphic which shows they went public on the day of the crash with a bogus scenario. That's the bit about the plane being upside down, which you dismissed as not germane.

As I say in my document, I don't know that I have the real scenario but there is enough information to show the official scenario is wrong. To be precise, I said

It's clear enough that the ALPA and CAB were wrong about the breakup, but that alone does not prove my reconstruction is correct.
That doesn't sound like someone saying that no one else knows crap.
