Key word "if". At this stage, we don't know. It could have been
a fire resulting from a tire that was over-filled with Nitrogen and
blew up, it could have been a fire resulting from a tire filled with
Oxygen instead of Nitrogen, it could have been any number of things.
Right now, we don't know. I submit that we will never know all
the facts that NASA learns from this process, and that it will take
NASA a long time to discover all the facts that they ultimately
uncover.
