HLR....you've asked a good question there. I am hoping to draw out more specific info from ULTIMA as well. 'canned responses'.....perfect
description.
This concept of 'Serial Numbers' seems to be a red herring, IMO. The DFDR and CVR have already been identified as belonging to the correct
airframe, the airframe that was AAL 77.
I, and others, have noted that as to landing gear wheels, there are no specific SNs assigned to them, just Part Numbers. There would be SNs on the
instruments, the electronics in the E&E compartment, etc. Doubt very much those small labels, one or two inches in length, would have survived the
impact and fires. The major airframe components, aluminum fuselage sections, etc, would not be labeled with a SN. Other components .... hydraulic
pumps, actuators....fuel pumps, accumulators....possibly, but again, how would those placards still be readable?
BTW...had a thought, not for this particular thread, but food for the mind to chew on...at the WTC a huge debunking claim is the 'wrong' engine was
found. Not sure I've EVER SEEN anyone mention the APU in the B767. It is very, very similar in size to the B737 core SNEMCA engine....could this be
the source of this 'conspiracy theory', as relates to the WTC??
