Now, my question is this...why no reports of eyewitnesses who spoke quite definitively about flames and smoke near the wings. Or did I miss this in the article. Again...only airline pilots and ground crews are credible eyewitnesses? Check out any news footage of interviewing the people who actually saw the thing go down. There's plenty of 'em. Everyone says flames and smoke.

flames and smoke are possibilities. What matters is the time sequence of when they saw them. Seeing flames and smoke during the final moments are inconsequential in one respect.
