Not really... the missile would have averaged out the four engines's heat sources and targeted an area in the middle... where there was a considerable heat source as well:
Wrong, the initial explosion occurred at over 15,000 feet. The detonation of the wing fuel tanks occurred around 5,500 feet.
Secondly, IR missiles would not have caused the center fuel tank to explode. An IR missile would have taken off an engine at most.

I see you are another one that likes to pee on the tin foil parade.
You do realize you are causing emotional distress by talking facts / reality?
How rude of you.
Correct. I read quickly. It was at 14,000 which is within a stinger's range. The engines on a 747 are on the wing. If a Stinger hit an engine/wing are you saying it couldn't cause the fully loaded fuel tanks to explode?

No, the initiating event (which may not have been an explosion) occured as the plane was climbing at 13,800 feet.
