This is one I don’t think should be classified as ‘conspiracy’
- NO planes grounded afterwards for this ‘issue’
- NO other 747 incident like this before/since
- Noted eye-witnesses, dismissed outright and never called to testify
Sorry, but even this one doesn’t pass the smell test. I’d believe in the ‘magic bullet’ more than I do these ‘findings’.
In 1991 a Lauda Air 767 broke up in mid-air when the thrust reverser on the Number 1 engine spontaneously deployed in flight. That had never happened before, has never happened since, and did not lead to a grounding of 767s.
That, to me, is the clincher. A plane blows up in mid-air because the fuel tank is (apparently) susceptible to such things -- and they never even attempted to look at or fix all of the other planes??
No way. They knew the fuel tank excuse was hooey.
