Well, I'm not sure what is knowable and not burnt up after that kind of case.

It could be that the fuel lines are a combination of metal lines with gaskets and some very durable high density hose material.
I think if there is something ignitable, it would be seeping out of bad gaskets more than anything else.

In 800 though, weren't there a dozen eye witnesses from all angles that saw what they thought was a missile launched from the ground at the plane just as it blew?

I know it has been ignored, but if you have a lot of reputable people saying they saw stuff from many different positions, then something suspicious more than likely happened IMO.

Yes, but a manpad (shoulder launched missile) would attract a lot more attention in a dark sky than in broad daylight.
