Fuel inerting. Ok. The US NTSB was never able to adequately explain how a fuel pump system could have allowed a spark to result in such a disaster. When has this happened before, without a static discharge from near a thunderstorm? I.E. the KC-135 returning to the squadron in Chicago many years ago. And this was NOT a 747.

For the very clever and resourceful out there: find out whether it is true that a US Navy ship Skipper and X.O. (on duty near N.Y.C) were relieved of command immediately after the TWA jet was destroyed.

Was it the USS Maryland?

And why personnel within a certain US intelligence agency are told to not even ask about the tragedy.
