"Discovery Channel produced a documentary that was a pretty detailed and convincing recreation of the possible events that would indeed cause the center tank explosion on Flight 800. ..."

And as a Physics major I laffed my a$$ off at the discovery channel 'documentary'.

Jet Fuel is simply KEROSINE. Go to the corner gas station, buy a gallon, pour it into a bucket, and toss in a match and watch what DOESN'T happen (an explosion)- or better yet, Do what I do about 10 times per year- pour it over a pile of wood and ignite it to make a bonfire. Nice and safe.

That is why jet airplanes are not blowing up left and right.

Try the same thing with gasoline (very explosive) and you better hope your health insurance is up-to-date.

The same is true of the computer simulation of the Kennedy assasination which attempted to prove the magic bullet story. Only problem was that other documents and pictures of the Zepruder film show that John Connally was not it the position depicted in the simulation. The "proof" had obviously been doctored.

Your post was brought onto another thread by another individual. The response:

"Heat Kerosene until it vaporizes. Stand in it and light a match. Let me watch."



The documentary mentioned above posited spark ignition of vapor in the empty fuel tank as the explosive etiology.
