    Scott does a good break down of the events as best can be pieced together from the two videos. The map and flight path he extracts from the data seems to indicated it may have been on the way to a populated city. This seems to have been a real near miss.

    He also seems to think there were two engines failing. So the old jokes about running an “engine rich fuel mix” seem to apply.

    He suggests the failure may most likely be the vehicles parts that were being held rather than what was doing the holding. This may explain some early damage that can be seen from parts shedding before it got spectacular.
