Cant speak for or against TWA flight 800.

But center tank explosions have been on documented on other Boeing aircraft.

The Boeing 737 for instance while a much smaller aircraft has a similar wing-tank center-tank structure and these airplanes had documented and photographed center tank explosions that occurred on the ground. So its not completely out of the realm.

There are in fact FAA AD notes for the 747 on this issue.

Duh! the AD was issued as a result of the "findings" that blamed the center fuel tank theory of TWA 800, so it can hardly be considered corroborating evidence can it?
