It did occur to me that the TWA accident began in this general location, but I am quite sure that the investigators would have discovered if a similar cause could be involved. But the bottles are very close to the wing box which is the largest fuel tank on the aeroplane.
It was the water bottles that were located there and attracted some attention since it was reported that repairs had to be performed in this area quite some time prior to the accident due to a ruptured water bottle having disrupted the flooring and wiring.
