I, for one, have NEVER believed the "center fuel tank exploding" scenario. I, too, thought the CIA video was not only ludicrous but absolutely perverse to the laws of BASIC HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS......My first thoughts that night were of either a mid-air collision or an anti-aircraft missile. The Klintroons covered this mess up, and now, the truth of their cowardly incompetentancy is coming out...

"I, for one, have NEVER believed the "center fuel tank exploding" scenario"

Me either. It is BS. Technically impossible. A jet burns essentially diesel fuel and the vapors are not volatile without a LOT of heat and if the tanks in a jet ever got that hot planes would be blowing up every day. Try it! Use the burner from your turkey fryer and an old pot. Start with the diesel cold and toss in a match. Match will go out or float on the top and act like a wick. The pot of diesel will not ignite. Next, heat it up slowly tossing in matches every few minutes. No fire until the diesel is literally smoking from the heat. Measure temperature once you are able to set the liquid OR its vapors alight and you too will know that the exploding fuel tank is 100% BS.

The explosive characteristics described for the jet fuel are borrowed from GASOLINE and do not exist for jet fuel except under the right conditions. And those conditions will never be attained in an aircraft fuel tank unless the rest of the plane is already on fire.

Jack Cashill is a good friend of mine. He invited me to a presentation with Jim Sanders in 2000. I went relucently, because I tend to discount conspiracy theories. I doubted what I heard at first, but it did concern me when I heard how the government treated Jim Sanders and his wife. During the question and answer session one man stood up and said, "There are 38 retired 747 captains in this room, and everyone of us agrees the center fuel tank exploding did not bring down the plane. The plane would have been mortally wounded if the tank exploded, but it would have come down much slower." That got my attention, and I talked to a friend of mine who is a rocket engineer, and former F-14 Top Gun. He said, "An exploding fuel tank did not bring down that plane."
