And so since much of the wreckage took far longer than two days, many began to kind of wonder if this residue was placed there afterwards.

Though investigators are theorizing other more mundane answers, right?

Like there was the idea that maybe there was contamination from the military personnel when this aircraft was used to transport troops back during the Gulf War in 1991.

Would it still be on there?

I don't know.

But that's kind of the theory because they're like, OK, fine.

If it wasn't a missile and it wasn't an explosive device, how did this residue get here?

But also, I'm wondering how was the residue there if residue would have dissolved within two days or whatever?

Right.

Well, if it's all like maybe in the cargo bay or something.

True.

Yeah.

It's a really interesting snag, and I think this is the crux for a lot of people and a lot of conspiracy theorists that go, well, the consensus that we'll talk about later doesn't really address this.

Pragmatically, to me, there are some good reasons why explosive materials might be on this plane.

For example, just one month prior to the accident, a canine training exercise went down where they were basically training bomb-sniffing dogs.

And they use containers with actual explosive ingredients in them so the dogs can find them.

And I believe one of the officers during that exercise said that one of the containers containing this material supposedly cracked during training and it could have led to some leakage.

And that's maybe how the residue got there.

But again...

It would have rinsed off in the ocean.
