Has this failure mode ever occurred on an aircraft other than TWA 800? Have the same conditions ever been present elsewhere?

Nope. It has never, ever occurred on any aircraft, ever.

If it actually had, they would have grounded the fleet.

You're right. I remember the government and MSM going nuts trying to find anything remotely similar, and there were no previous incidents of any 747 center tank fuel probes malfunctions that could've caused such an explosion.

To ElkGroveDan:

I'll take your word on the CIA's production of the video.

Bottom line: the "zoom climb" theory is unbelievable.
