Not a technical comment, but I wrote US News after reading their article on the crash in their Nov 26 issue strongly criticizing them ("shoddy reporting") for making no mention or explanation of the eyewitness reports of fire and explosion/disintegration, nor any mention of the MTA bridge surveillance tapes turned over to the FBI (why not the NTSB) which reportedly showed 587 taking off. Do the tapes show the aircraft flying apart less than three minutes into the flight? Inquiring minds want to know.
