“I never bought the exploding fuel tank business, it was almost surely shot down.”
I agree. There are thousands of aircraft with that same exact type of wiring as found in TWA800, and they’re not going KABOOM in midair.
The only other crash that I know of that was wiring related was the SwissAir 111 that had a fire in the cockpit causing a crash off Nova Scotia.
Some of the Cuban pilots were real swashbucklers, real heros, I'm proud to have met them and worked on those planes.
