45. First, thanks for giving an explanation.

Second of all, I don't know what caused the damage but the official story doesn't make sense to me.

Third, it was the official story (the Mike Wilson animation) that had the engine gouging just the top of the engine.

Finally, the point remains that a 757 engine simply *can't* knock that ground-level hole in the fence, and produce that damage to the trailer/generator.

If the engine is low enough to the ground to knock that ground-level hole in the fence, then the *wing* will be low enough to smash full into the trailer/generator-- which would have caused far more damage to the trailer/generator than was seen, and also more of a slanted damage, not a straightly smashed top for the proximal part of the unit.



The other issue is that officially, the starboard engine was elevated off the ground from a last minute bank, so it shouldn't have hit the fence at ground-level.

So, it is still a mystery, and incompatible with a 757 impact.
