I just looked at my copy of Exhibit 19A and was surprised to see that only 8 passengers were confirmed burn victims, and all eight were recovered floating in the water. They were believed to have received their burns from the burning fuel slick. Seven of the eight were assigned seats in Area C, (above the Center Fuel Tank).

"They were believed to have received their burns from the burning fuel slick."

Or....from the NTSB's report " Fire propagated in the [cabin zone located above the CWT] after most occupants [of this section] had been ejected. The small number of passengers with burn injuries exhibited only superficial burns consistent with exposure to a flash flamefront."
That would be a fireball. Not a burning oil slick.

Right. My 19A was incomplete relative to showing the seating plan and the applicable physical trauma associated with them. I faintly recall seeing a seating plan that someone had in one of our forums. The latest copy of 19A must have much more than what I have. My copy of the CD was one of the first ir not the very first released. Maybe TJ had a copy since he had a lot of seat photos.
