The FAA decided not to ground the 747 and fit the inegren system, after TWA800, but I wonder if Air Force one got one?
One other thought, was Concorde gounded cause its passengers were worth more, or was the tyre problem more likley to happen than an exploding fuel tank.
If the rule that a single failure is not allowed to bring down an A/C is applied, how can they get away with the exploding tank problem. At first glance it seems a different set of ruel are applied to the Boeing than the Concorde.
just a few thoughts
