Yeah, it was that static electricity in the center fuel tank. Yeah thats it.
Tests on a similar plane showed that the center fuel tanks get MUCH hotter than expected. TWA 800 sat on the runway for an hour longer due to being a “life flight”, i.e., transporting human organs to a European hospital. On Westbound flights, the center fuel tanks aren’t filled, leading to a more dangerous amount of fumes.
TWA Flight 800 WAS shot down. Over 200 people saw it. The 6 top government agents in charge of the cover-up story have come forward, admitted they lied, and are now making a movie about it.
