Oh BullChit! Remember the tail section and how cleanly it came off? How is it someone could take the tail section cleanly off without leaving any blast damage?

Perhaps, by removing/weakening the retaining bolts? The whole underlying issue here was how unsecure our airport facilities really were. Does anyone know if we have an official explanation for the lost of AA-587, or is the investigation still pending?

I was in this debate.

I used to do destuctive testing at KAMAN on Helicopters, airframes and blades

From the pictures I saw, theris NO WAY fatigue took that tail off.

AND, if it WAS fatigue, then all AIRBUS aircraft woud have been GROUNDED immediately

Only they weren't, were they?
