Hey, Sparky!!!

Give me your thoughts on center fuel tanks exploding....I could be way wrong on this but my understanding is it won't happen. But I'm not an avionics type.

Regarding the liklihood of an internal fault causing the explosion -

Ask yourself how many other aircraft have gone down because of a spark inside the center (or any) fuel tank ... think the answer is none.

What I'm interested in today is the shift in tone on FR, now it is the accidental explosion/USN shoot down faction that sounds like they are covering a retreat. No longer able to maintain the tin-foil hat image assigned to us doubters.
