You know what is REALLY STUPID. That these morons in charge of these investigations have to guess what happened. Walk into any convenience store or a gazillion other mom and pop shops and you can see exactly WHAT HAPPENED at any moment of any day. It is called a CAMERA!!!!!!
HELLO! McFly!!!
Could you imagine Shop & Go having to anaylize data from black box and having only a "thud" to go on in tracking down who held up the store. Gee, was that thud the door closing, the perp pounding his fist on the counter or the bulk head failing.

You must be new here. Nobody here takes seriously that it's possible for an airliner to crash due to a mechanical failure.

Ok, I'll admit it, I was biting my tongue real hard when I typed that.

*You*
truly don't know what it was - do you?
(It's *real* easy to tell when someone throws a bunch of material on a page instead of answering the question.)
See, some of us actually lived those 'events' ...

What does the starboard side of that fuselage look like?

The photo posted appears to be the only one of recovered wreckage available todate. Is that a tarp - or part of a sling - on the
right side of the nose section?
Taipei Times
[excerpt]one of the engines from the jet was retrieved yesterday morning by the search team. According to the Cabinet's Aviation Council, it was engine number one, one of the engines on the right side of the airliner. The engine was found near the wreckage of the front portion of the plane. The ASC said the search team would clean it before bringing it back to Penghu for inspection.

Am I missing something or does this report dovetail extremely well with the Flight 800 scenario? I would say the media is monolithic in such case.

.. looks like rippling of the skin ... I think it (the skin in that area) is catching the light funny ...
Looking further toward the front and further back it appears to me that the area that 'looks like a tarp' begins to blend in with the remainder of the forward section of the nose/fuselage section.
About that recovered #1 engine (outboard starboard side) - I wonder if it shows some signs of 'fodding' (similar to TWA 800's starboard side engines) ...

"... in very fuzzy detail ..."
Yeah, but, does that convenience store video tape contain any valuable telemetry data like the pulse or respiration rate - or the 'attitude and pitch' of the perp?
