OK, I've looked at your Exhibit 18A exhibit. I'm responding on this thread because it is a little more calm over here. As I have previously said, I only have access to what the NTSB has posted on the web, so I'll take your word on what was in the report dated 1/24/97. Any idea on why there is more than one date for the report? As you have indicated in other threads, it isn't wise to publish parts of an investigation or theory until you are done with it. Has anyone asked the NTSB or anyone in the Sequencing Study about the changes? Obviously, there were a lot more folks than just NTSB agents making up the Sequencing Study. Boeing is very proud of their involvement in the study, and said so in their submission dated April 28, 2000. You'd think they'd object to anything that wasn't accurate given three years to review the study. Instead they say "The Boeing Structures representatives agree that while there may be unexplained aspects with regard to certain observations, “the facts and data on the whole support the sequence documented” in the Sequence Group Report."
