Guys, it is still me, spike. I am going to try to use upper case

carpal tunnel and I thought it might get better if I did not reach for

Perhaps. This whole thread started with the contention (I think) that
the CIA report was trying to cover something by claiming a 29
second plunge of the crippled plane into the sea. I realized that
the number 29 in itself is an indication they hoped to minimize the
time, just as Frys electronics puts a new electronic gazazzafratz on
sale for 29.99 because that sounds less than 30 bucks. 29 seconds,
well, thats less than half a minute. I imagine it really took about a
full terrifying minute for the doomed, and likely conscious, passengers
to end their suffering. I would still like to pretend it was only 29
seconds
even if I know better. Either way, I suspect a fuel leak started a fire
outside the tank which then (somehow) caused the tank to explode.
