The most concering fact about TWA800- The final blame was a short in the wiring around the Center fuel tank. There was a repair directive issued, but no repairs were ever made to existing 747's.
I swear I saw a show, where they heated up a fuel tank, and put fuel in it, and ran sparks through it, to try and ignite it, and the voltage in the 747 wiring couldn't ignite the fuel cell
