Heat kills electrical circuits FAIL ever notice the cases of smoke in the cockpit of late the curve in hydraulics has less effect with heat.As far as designers how about a/c units mounted near fuel cells?was it flifgt 300 that went down near New york?
You are confusing two different accidents. TWA was a Boeing 747 which blew up because of a center fuel tank. American 587 was a A300 which crashed because the first officer over-reacted to wake turbulence and over-controlled the rudder.
