" . . .The royal aeronautical establishment metallurgical laboratory at farnsborough has confined the presence of fatigue in the fracture of the outer main cargo doorskin in the area between fuselage station 540 and 560. Multiple fatigue nuclei were found at numerous rivet holes near the center of the approximate 22-inch primary fracture line. Heavy nicotine staining on the skin and adjacent frames indicated that cabin air had been exiting through the skin crack forsome time. The area had last been inspected 368 hours before the depressurization incident. The total aircraft time was 20,820 hours."
