"To me, the "burnt over most of its body" looks more like surface corrosion marks of many terrestial pipes-- Just compare the "burnt marks" on the pipe with those on the OTHER pictures you have shown above and, especially, the object resting on a tree branch below. The "burnt" marks on that pipe look very, very different from the others you have shown."

The OTHER pictures I have shown you are shown to you for several reasons, one of which is to show you that they have many different types of surfaces, some of which appear very burnt, some moderately burnt, and some not much burnt at all. Some have holes, some don't. Some are totally deformed, some are not. The fact is that it is impossible for you to claim that you can predict what kind of damage and how much damage each piece of debris is going to sustain, therefore a piece of debris not conforming to your preconceived notions is NOT some kind of evidence that a foreign malevolent nation planted evidence in that Ivory Coast village in order to sully the name of China.

"The other point is that the other objects you have shown are mostly spherical, or near spherical, and they are empty, which means that when going through the air, they have a very high drag to weight ratio. That makes them slow down very quickly (yet they still suffer very serious burnts as seen from your pictures) and therefore hit the ground at relatively relatively slow speed.

A long thin pipe, however, has the tendency to go through air along its longitudinal axis. THAT makes it have a very low drag to weight ratio and therefore it can go through air at very very high speed (and can be expected to get more serious burnt marks as a result) AND to hit the gound end-on at very very high speed. At the moment it hits the gound, the momemtum of the the rest of the LONG THIN pipe, that is behind the leading section, should cause the pipe to bend, twist, deform.... much much more that what is seen in that picture."

Again, you have no idea how long this pipe was exposed to the external atmosphere (i.e. external to the core stage). It could have emerged from the core module near the end of the descent as the core module itself finally disintegrated. Regardless, it is absolutely wrong just on the face of it to claim that this metal pipe allegedly has no visible damage. Also, your same argument could be applied to the core module itself which is also has a much longer axis in one dimension than the others, but which we in fact know tumbled uncontrollably through the atmosphere.

"Something doesn't add up with that particular pipe in the picture."
