In a news report,it came out from
Japan saying,"That the reason the jumbo jet (a 767)
crashed which killed 540 people,was because of an
mysterious impact on the tail of the plane.
But that night at about 2am EDT,meteorite showers
occurred and were sighted in the Western N.Y..
~~~~
Q: If it is 2am in EDT it is 3pm Japanese Daylight Time.
Was the the JAL reported missing from radar at about the
12pm- 2pm?
~~~~~
And a day later in California there were reports of meteorites
fall to the ground and producing some brush fires.

There's fires all over the world, it doesn't mean anything. 10% of all meterorites that survive can do any type of damage. Anyway, the report states that the tail section had its rear door seal brake, ripping the door off its hinges, and striking the tail. A meteorite to do such damage has to be at least a good half a ton, and would have been detected on radar. (Anything less would burn up and not cause that type of damage.)

The cause has not yet been officially determined. The above is one of several theories. > A meteorite to do such damage has to be at least a good half a ton, > and would have been detected on radar. > (Anything less would burn up and not cause that type of damage.) A fast-moving meteorite of a few pounds could easily cause that kind of damage. It would have the same energy as a cannon shell. > > Nice try, but the argument is a tad lame. > -- > Kenneth "Worzel" Fung Before you pick on somebody, you should get your facts at least as straight as he did. -- Mike Taylor ...!{ihnp4,hplabs,amd,sun}!amdahl!mat [ This may not reflect my opinion, let alone anyone else's. ]

Last I heard, Boeing had agreed to pay "damages" on the assumption that they might have been responsible, with the understanding that if the investigation eventually exonerates them, they get their money back.

The details are a bit fuzzy in my head, but I seem to remember Boeing admitting that the rivets on the repair plate didn't go all the way through the 3-layer plate. The end result was metal fatigue (remember, the 747SR has high take- off/landing cycling): the plate let loose, and various chunks of metal started flying around. -- John Allred General Computer Company uucp: seismo!harvard!gcc-milo!john
