The explosion of TWA 800.

Larry J?

You're our resident aviator and
aviation buff.

Isn't it a fact that aviation fuel-tanks do on occasion blow up?

Isn't it a fact that modern jet-fuel
is still a highly-volatile fluid?
[I know the answer to that one; since
I've studied chemistry]

Isn't it a fact that a partially-empty
aviation fuel-tank [on a jetplane]
can generate an air-fuel mixture by sloshing and mingling of air and fuel?

Isn't it a fact that such an air-fuel mixture is explosive, and all you need
is one spark?

Larry? I think you and I can then tell
those conspiratorial buffoons or idle
hands: "Case closed!"
