This one’s easy. The center fuel tank is always suspect in these cases.

Couldn’t resist...

No doubt. I've been thinking of something like a massive sandstorm ~ would start out as a field of loosely knit cometary "boulders" hitting the atmosphere, and then turning into particles traveling several tens of thousands of miles an hour.

That'd undoubtedly take out a plane ~ even one without a center tank. Just shear the wings right off of it, and if it was a big enough storm, maybe the static electricity you'd have in a storm like that would shut down the electronic components one by one.
