-MH17 & WORSE THAN Titanic rivet effect- etc
Sir/Madam, 25
I am n t aware of any courtesy response/acknowledgement from you regarding my
previous 23-8-2014 correspondence, I look forwards to the same as my readers then will be
aware that Boeing does take matters seriously.

In my 23-8-2014 correspondence I referred to countersank rivet heads but this should be 30
considered to refer also to bullet head rivets.
As I am showing in the images below, the holes for the rivets were drilled ab out half way to
allow the bullet head rivet to be flat with the surface of the outer panel of the plane. By this the
actual material that is left holding the rivet is ab out half or less of the thickness of the plate. You
find that by this not just rivet after rivet popped through the plates but entire rows of rivets at the 35
same time. As shown below a plate witch seems to be nearly straight nevertheless had all rivets
pulled through the plate. Even double lined rivets were pulled through. Yet, images also show
that mushroom head rivet remained intact.
The plate below shows how what might be shrapnel that pierced through and caused some
damage, but where about all rivet holes are without rivets. 40

If the face of the above image of the plate is the outside (considering the recesses of the rivet
holes in the plate) then if the hole damage was caused by shrapnel then this was from within the
plane, such as shrapnel that went through one side of the planes body plate and then came
through on the other side of the planes body plates. Which may indicate a considerable high
explosive missile having been used. Arrows shows where rivet heads are still left in the plate. 5

Rivet lines 1 to 2 + 3 to 4 were simultaneously pulled from the rivets and line 5 to 6 and line 7 to
8 also. While at 9 the rivet is missing at either side A and B still shows a rivet in place. Pulling
though so many rivets at the same time surely appears to me to indicate a considerable weakness!
10
Above images shows at 1 and 2 countersank screws having been used. And in its line the plate
cracked apart. It is a well-known factor that when one drill holes in any material it generally
weakens the material at the area, and so reduces the strength of the material in the area. As such,
one has to consider what was done to overcome this loss of strength of material? Were
countersank and bullet head not suitable for usage considering the limited thickness of the plates? 15
Should only mushroom heads fasteners have been used as to give strength to the plates where the
holes had weakened it?
In particular where bullet heads were sank into the plates then the height of the bullet
heads would have already thin thickness of the plates left little to hold the bullet head rivet
and so as minimal pressure could easily cause all bullet head rivets to pop through. 20
It was one thing to use bullet head rivets but it is another thing to use recesses in the plates to
accommodate bullet heads, as then the real thickness of the plates of the plane body are only that
which is left after the recess. As such by recessing for bullet head rivers to be flat on the outside
of the plane body in effect the plate thickness must be measured to what was left over of
thickness after the recessing of the rivet bullet head rather than considering the ordinary 25
thickness of the outer body plate of the plane.
One also has to question why the bolt was pulled out, where there appears to be no deformation
at the plate itself? Was it hit by shrapnel just next to the bolt and caused the beam to be destroyed
and by this the bolt came loose, or was the bolt stripped from its thread in some way or another?

This panel shows that row A to B had its rivets pulled through all at the same time as the arrows
indicate the force direction on the plate. D shows rivers left in the beam and at c there is a strip
but it is not a sheer from the plate as the plate shows red and blue pain on the side. As such C
was not part of the plate originally.
5


This penal is a telling tale where from A to B the panel did sheer of along the rivet line but from
B to C it had the rivets pulled through.
The damage at A could have been caused by the fall onto the ground or where the force initially 10
was and then the entire piece merely so to say dropped off. From B to D and H to E as with the
rivet line of G it shows that no matter different rows they were seemingly all together pulled
from the rivets as was for example the rivets in line F even so the panel appears not to show
much of a bend to explain why this eventuated. As such it seems that the panel merely so to say
dropped off as there was little resistance to hold the plate fastened. The bend between A and F is 15
what one could expect if the force of air pressure had so to say blown off the panel with about
near identical pressure along the panel. At least that is my view. It would however be extra
ordinary that where the panel is riveted against beams then nevertheless the air pressure being it
of an internal explosion or otherwise could still blow of such part of the penal without little
deformation of bending. As after all even if there had been an explosion inside the plane, not that 20
I seek to suggest it was then ordinary the panel would bend where the beams are as to rip it of the
rivets, whereas this isnt particular shown to have occurred. This to me indicates that in general
the structure of the plane was very weak due to the panels having been predrilled recessed for
rivet heads. Hence the same weakness in structure likely may exist in all planes build/constructed
in the same manner 25


The blue arrow is where it appears (albeit the image is very small and so the actual piece needs to
be looked at) that this was a recessed bullet hole for a bullet head rivet but the edge that had been
there has broken away by the force of the rivet bullet head. Even so the panel doesnt appear to 30
be bend nevertheless a whole row of 8 rivets show to have been pulled through. This even so
before and after the bullet head rivet still is visible.

While the beams show twisting this may have been caused by hitting the ground where other
images indicate the panel part that is missing from it was nowhere nearby and so already had so
to say fallen off in the air.

5
What the above images shows is a near plat panel (left) which nevertheless shows that entire row
of rivets are missing. What seems to be is that the panel (right side of that image) may have been
ripped off from the rivets and then the shear along the rivet line to the left and then broke off (top
of image) the arrows shows how about one third of the panel strength is loss due to the recess of
the countersunk hole for the countersunk rivet. 10

Because of aerodynamics it may be wiser to use strips as shown as C, with a strip over it to
reduce drag. At A is the current (assumed) system of rivet heads.
At B with an added head, but this likely will dramatically alter the aerodynamics and so
increase drag on the plane, meaning a lot more fuel to be used. 15
At D it shows what currently appears to me to be the current recess in the plate and how little
material.

What is essential is to seek to establish what was the original damage caused by a
missile?
How did the plane disintegrate in mid-air?
Was there a profound weakness in the construction of the planes body that allowed
the plane to disintegrate in an accelerated manner? 5
Where the mushroom and/or bullet head rivet heads a critical factor in escalation of
disintegration?
Was the recessing of the planes panels for countersank and/or bullet head rivets a
cause why the plane disintegrated as it did?
Would replacing the bullet head rivets with bullet head rivets having also a 10
mushroom head on it be the best way to strengthening the rivets without having
excess space in the recess in the plates, in existing planes? This would allow plates to
be left in place but just the rivet having double heads to strengthening the hold on
the outside of the plates.
Would replacing the countersunk head rivets with countersunk head rivets having 15
also a mushroom head on it be the best way to strengthening the rivets without
having excess space in the recess in the plates, in existing planes? This would allow
plates to be left in place but just the rivet having double heads to strengthening the
hold on the outside of the plates.
Where the change to the rivet heads may cause aerodynamic problems then to have 20
a strip covering the mushroom heads held by a channel that is held by the same
rivets then this may to some extend reduce friction and so drag. Yet, the strip can be
easily removed to allow access to rivets, if needed.

The next images shows how panels can end up severely damaged but the rivets in general didnt 25
give way. Just some rivets and clearly the panel is not straight at all but shows forces having
twisted it in different shapes, besides the missile damage.

Below some images of severe forces and rivets having been pulled through the plates or
alternative the heads simply came off.


5
I am well aware that rivets are ordinary of a certain standard however, replacing an entire fleet of
airplanes panels (consider the loss of usage to do so, as well as the huge cost involved versus
seeking to strengthen existing panels is something else. By the additional head on an existing
rivet head then while for manufacturing this may need to be done, (but as I used to be in charge
of production planning and production of a nail factory I am well aware that certain heading 10
machines can likely perform the job. It merely would take some R&D (Research & development)
to get to the right product.) certain international rivets standards still may need to be complied
with, such as strength, etc. But they may already be failing such standards or the standards may
need to be revised where now it may be proven that the way those rivets were used it allows easy
popping out or ripping out of rows of rivets at the same time. Even a replacement of rivets in 15
more critical areas may perhaps make the difference in reliable strength of the strength of an
airplane to withstand certain extra ordinary forces.

Obviously, there is a lot more to it but I look forwards that this contribution will be of assistance
to investigators. Also, while not seeking to imply to condone anyone firing missiles upon any 20
kind of aircraft, it also may perhaps assist to establish if the missile was the real cause to down
MH17 or that it was because of a combination of factors and MH17 might have been able to
safely land after a missile strike had the rivets not given way in the manner as it did. Indeed why
did certain rivets not break off or let go of the panels while other did?
25
My condolence is with those grieving for their lost ones and I hope that these writings may assist
to clarify what really eventuated. Perhaps it may even result to actions of modifications to seek to
prevent such repeat of considerable rivet failure, at least as I perceive tit to have been.

This correspondence is not intended and neither must be perceived to refer to all details 30
and issues but merely is some outline some of my concerns.
Awaiting your response, G. H. Schorel-Hlavka O.W.B. (Friends call me Gerrit)
