"Are you not aware that this happened a few times prior to this accident?"

Oh please, tell us more about these prior accidents? I would love to hear about them.

Thank you

The following very detailed report was personally prepared by two airborne witnesses shortly after the disaster and posted by them on the internet - but it does not appear to be included in the witness portion of the NTSB's final report. Those who believe the NTSB should include it are encouraged to contact the NTSB direct and press them to do so. Witnessing The Downing of Flight 800

One very publicized incident involved a French Cargo Airliner that exploded in the same manner and it was determined was the same cause. I really don't have to list all incidents because I am not really refuting anyones claim that it may have been something else other than what the NTSB says it was. I don't entirely believe, given much of the eyewitness testimony (that apparently wasn't included in the official report) the NTSB's version anyway.

I mean, one of the most absurd parts of their whole report is the fact that one of the fuel tanks was empty, or almost empty. On an International flight, that is simply not going to be the case. That in and of itself rings loud and alarming bells for me.
