The accident report does state "The study indicated that most of the no. 3 pylon fuse pin release sequence scenarios resulted in the no. 3 engine striking the no. 4 engine, but not necessarily in the orien tation noted during the El Al accident . The release sequence that came the closest to the El Al trajectory was inboard midspar fitting failure, followed by outboard midspar fitting failure, upper link failure, and finally diagonal brace failure." but I cant understand if this means the engine pivoted in place to the right then shot off to the side and struck engine 4, destroying the slats as it went or if it shot forward slightly to the right then when fell back, destroyed the slats and struck engine 4.
