So, If the jet exploded on it's own, why were 747s allowed to continue flying after this?

Did Boeing agree with the findings?

Ask the same question about the Airbus after the flight to the DR exploded over Queens on take off in late 2001.

Changes were made to operating procedures to address the "found" (or fabricated) cause of ignition. I don't recall exactly what the changes were, but may have been to never have an empty center fuel tank.

IIRC, Boeing got a large contract shortly thereafter.
