John and Kate walk through the reconstructed fuselage as they talk about the various eyewitness accounts of a flame rising from the ocean just before the explosion. Kate explains that the CIA has made a movie reenacting the explosion and that the CIA believes that instead of seeing a rising flame, the eyewitnesses instead saw the burning fuselage descending.
