Foldover Flap
BS520 to BS530
The Metallurgist Report indicates blood on the rivet seam and blood spatters on BOTH the interior
and exterior of the piece. Interesting is, on the interior the spatters are in the fore to aft direction
but on the exterior, the spatters are in the AFT to FORE direction. The most plausible explanation is that the FA was basically
IN the S-10 joint as it was separating (like a can opener) with her head and right arm outside the aircraft. For the FA's blood
to be on both sides of the piece and aft to fore on the exterior, her body would have to have been at the S-10 BS540 juncture
exactly at the time that piece folded over.
