The TWA 800 fuel tank scenario is EXTREMELY plausible and very likely.
Wasn’t TWA 800 full up for a transatlantic flight?

"Wasn’t TWA 800 full up for a transatlantic flight?" Not at all. The range of the 747-100 is well over 8,000 miles. The flight from NY to Rome is about half that.

Wasn’t TWA 800 full up for a transatlantic flight? Enough of the fuel tanks to get the airplane to Paris were. That isn't all the fuel tanks on the aircraft. The center tank was empty.
