The only thing I know about debris patterns is what I learn from that Smithsonian Channel’s “Air Disasters” show.
So obviously that makes me an expert.
Kidding. You’re right. I would not be able to explain what it should look like or what it did look like. That’s not in my scope of knowledge.
Well I don’t think it’s quite as mysterious a your quip infers.
If an explosion occurs in the middle of an object, debris is
jettisoned in all directions.
If an explosion takes place on the side of an object, debris
would be blown toward the opposite side.
The problems with this incident, are these, as it relates to
debris.
Somewhere around 80-95% of the debris was blown to one side
of the flight path.
The prevailing wind that night was blowing toward the side
with the least amount of debris.
The center tank explosion theory is not credible.
