Then they started one engine at the gate, pushed the plane back and took it to a holding pad to get air flowing.
Isn't the above the one of the factors attributed to the official cause of the TWA 800 flight accident?
Air conditioning units getting very hot and heating the fuel above to produce a bad combination of fumes/fuel?
Don't know the 777 systems but just wondering...
