Yeah, those gas tanks will just go up in a ball of fire at anytime.Funny I never heard of another one doing that, ever.Boeing doesnt make junk

Two Boeing 737s have had accidental center fuel tank explosions (both were on the ground at the time).

If failure modes of commercial aircraft were common, tens of thousands of people would be dying in airline accident every year.

It's so safe that when there's an accident it involves weird combinations of unusual circumstances.

Do you know the details of those two 737s? I would like to read up on that.
