Before we get hysterical about it, I understand the cargo door thing should not happen again. The alleged fuel pump is not proved to be the cause, however until all pumps are decisively modified to ensure the pump is not the cause, special procedures have been in place to absolutely ensure that fuel pumps never run 'dry'. I fly the darn things. I like living. I would not fly the darn things if I had any suspicion doing the one would shorten the other. Relax about it. Nobody has any idea what caused TWA. You can ensure your absolute safety by retiring to a cottage on Dartmoor and not going anywhere by aeroplane. The trains or cars or convicts may get you instead!
