The reason these engines failed is MORE COMPLICATED than the fact they
were at 41,000'. These planes can fly at 41,000'. What happened is
related to how they got to 41,000'. They got there by exceeding the
maximum climb rate.

Interesting theory. Please share with us where you obtained that
information.

Your theory seems the most plausible of anything I've heard, but the NTSB
hasn't released the final report, nor have I seen any specific information
about the climb they executed. Do you actually have a reference for your
statement, or are you just guessing?
