While I am at it, your point on the so-called "29 events" is not well taken either.
You imply that nothing had been done about such tyre deflation/destruction events.
In fact, there had been, as of July 25 2000, 22 such events, not 29. But the report clearly distinguishes between three distinct time periods:
1976-1981: 13 events (rate per cycle 5.4 1E-4)
(modification as described in 1.16.4.2.1 of the report are carried out in 1982)
1982-1994: 8 events (rate 1.9 1E-4)
(BA aircraft equipped with modified deflectors and braking system modified in 1994)
1995-200: 1 event
