Exactly. And how many jets have been falling out of the sky because of the center fuel tank problem since 1996?

There have been a couple of other Boeing accidental fuel tank explosions, although not on 747s.

Air travel is so safe now that any sort of catastrophic mechanical failure mode is going to be rare.

Only one DC-10 ever crashed because an engine fell off. Doesn't mean it didn't happen.
