"I understand skepticism could exist were there higher-probability scenarios to the observations provided."
Several people who have posted to the thread seem to be fairly knowledgeable, if not actual engineers/architects. That's a refreshing difference to many threads like this. One very common aspect of threads such as this (but not so much this one) is that people who aren't qualified to perform any sort of structural analysis or post-mortem do so any way because they have an axe to grind. Even though I'm an engineer, I'm not qualified to add to the body of work done by the various investogators. I tend to view the whole set of events from a probabalistiv point of view, i.e. The Razor of Occam. Thanks all, for an entertaining read.
