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.) Nice try, but the argument is a tad lame. -- Kenneth "Worzel" Fung "For the Eternal Space--Mobile Suit Gundam" UUCP : {decvax/dual/rocksanne/watmath/rocksvax} !sunybcs!daemen!fung "...to be destroyed by an Earthling, a mere girl, an American even, would make him the laughing stock of the Universe!"
