I have read endlessly on the TWA800, and I have no doubt in my mind that this was a huge military 'cock-up' leading to the downing of a 747 and countless innocent lives.
Concorde was removed from service days after the paris crash due to a freak sequence of events. 747's still litter our skies, harnessing this apparently lethal fault. Its all nonsense.
While I agree there is a definate 'issue' with centre tanks, they certainly shouldn't be linked IN ANY WAY to the TWA incident because the aircraft was shot down. As the yanks say, PERIOD!
