“I am not sure I trust ....”
Well, then don’t trust it. Trust your won lying eyes. Look at the still photographs and the videos of the Airbus engines and fuselage. I see no shrapnel holes in them, do you? When the Russians shot down Flight MH17 over the Ukraine, you could immediately see the shrapnel holes in the pieces of the fuselage. Even if you pretend all such holes were located only in the pieces of the fuselage and tail that burned, the pieces of shrapnel that became embedded would still remain undestroyed in the wreckage. If such pieces were in the unburned or burned wreckage, they would be quickly discovered by the investigators on the crash sites. I haven’t seen any of them report the finding of any such pieces of shrapnel, have you?
So, if you cannot trust your own eyes when looking for shrapnel holes that are not there, then what are you going to trust?
OK. Sorry I offended you.
You can trust whomever you like.
As for me? Trusting Federals is just a none starter and has been for damn near 50 years. Starting with the Gulf of Tonkin
I am still waiting for all of those WMD in Iraq.
Have you heard yet?
