Winco:
how many of those aircraft that you quote have been lost due to a massive fuel leak?
Presumably you are suggesting that XV230 suffered a massive fuel leak. There is no evidence that a "massive" leak started the fire. A QQ scientist proved that 300 ml (contents of a fizzy drink can) can start a massive blaze if it comes into contact with a very hot surface.

You are wrong to imply that XV230 was brought down by a single massive fuel leak.
