The researchers concluded that the planes had broken apart at altitude, spilling most of their human contents into the sea. To figure out exactly where the fuselage had broken apart, they looked at whether the passengers had been clothed or naked when pulled from the sea. Sir Harold's theory was that hitting the sea from a height of several miles would knock one's clothes off, but that hitting the sea inside the largely intact tail of the plane would not, and that they could therefore surmise the point of breakup as the dividing line between clothed and naked cadavers.
Woah. You learn something new every day!

If so, I'd like to point out that reading by flashlight under a blanket is always a good way to tackle the most difficult and dangerous parts of a book. I'd also suggest you have a snack handy. Or some gum to chew.
