Raises questions about an earlier theory about a burst tire due to a burn through and the chain of events that would ensue- rapid and catastrophic.

Minor sensor changes then total loss of all data. Rapidly unfolding catastrophic chain of events.

I never did buy into the 'burst tire' theory. But I'm no expert by any means.

In the beginning, I believed the foam to have grazed the bottom, but after I ran the sequence about 100 times while tilting my laptop screen, it gave it depth and a perspective of the location.

Anyway, that is what I came up with. The tile is probably a critical one, since it borders both the wing edge and the wheel well.

If this is the cause, then both were compromised, but the well gasket and seat likely failed first causing the cover to fall away. The rest was a matter of stripping the tile underlayment off along with the tile. Eventually the skin and then loss of control due to the tremendous drag.

Going to take a nap.
