Don’t worry, it was just the multiple refugees in the wheel-wells cooking themselves dinner.

Judging by the hole, most of the damage was explosive decompression.

Obviously a center wing tank malfunction.

From the linked item:
“...If it had happened in higher altitude, it would have been an explosive decompression!”
To: b4its2late
Oh, Airbus?
That happens all the time.

Wing tank explosion. Of course! They happen all the time. Nothing to see here. No terrorist link expected. Certainly, this is not the work of any true muslim. In fact, we wouldn’t even have airplanes without the tremendous scientific advances the West has stolen from islam’s good and gracious culture. We learned to be peaceful from following their example.

There was a report of a burnt body that fell from the air - suicide bomber didn’t pack enough punch

Bomb went off too soon ???Probably so. It looks like it was probably accidentally set off during arming and/or placing. Both the placement and timing were poor - not at optimum location, not at optimum altitude. This looks like an oopsie.
