It wasn’t random at all. The plane sat on the hot runway for hours with the air-conditioning running(next to the cft). This increased the temperature of the center fuel tank causing dangerous vapors to rise. It was a perfect combination and when some static electricity sparked a massive explosion happened. After that the plane broke up and the portion of the plane with the engines climbed thousands of feet and looked like a missile to witnesses.

Sure. That's why the FAA immediately grounded all 747s and did detailed inspections of the center fuel tanks to isolate the problem. No, wait - they really only bothered to look at 5% of them.
