  1. The margin isn’t torn, but a smooth, clean break, possibly indicating the absence of any fasteners whatsoever. I just wonder how it managed so many flights in this condition?

  2. Earliest reports from the airline said “a panel fell down”. This choice of soft language by the airline damage control spin doctors had me thinking some electrical panel in the cockpit had fallen on the floor, not a sudden and violent cabin depressurization.

  3. It looks like it wasn’t bolted at all. There’s no torn or twisted metal visible at the margins.
