Well, I would think a hole would require some explaing!

FYI: I was replying to post #161, which in full said:
Paul Czysz, an aviation specialist at Parks College of St. Louis University, said the circular hole in the side of an engine that fell from the doomed airliner is suspicious. Czysz said jet engines of the type on the A-300 are designed to contain any debris from a turbine blade failure. In a catastrophic, uncontained failure involving sheared turbine blades, he said, there likely would be more engine damage than apparent in the engine on the ground.

Cyzsz said that if the engine had fallen from the plane as a result of failure in its attachment bolts, he also would expect to see more substantial damage than was apparent in pictures of the engine on the ground.
