Lets hope that if it turns out to be another wiring fault (as the same NTSB have stated as a probable cause for TWA800), that the FAA and NTSB get out of their slumber and do something about rather than shuffling their feet.

Same thing with B737 rudder problem... You can see the difference between who seriously thinks about aircraft safety when the Concorde was grounded for months, even when the cause of the crash was ascertained to be an external factor while the B737 continues to fly (and be manufactured!) to this day without redundant rudder control, a probable cause for two if not more fatal crashes.

Yankee dollars talk!
