I still think that center fuel tank story is a cover story for what really happened. There were just too many people who saw something else that day.

If the fuel is inert, how’s the thing supposed to take off and fly. The fuel isn't inert. A gas like nitrogen is pumped into the ullage (empty part of the tank) so you don't have a fuel vapor and oxygen mix in there. No oxygen = no fire in the tank.

It’s pretty apparent, isn’t it, that the aviation community doesn’t believe that that fuel tank exploded.

If it was actually the fuel tanks, they would have grounded 747’s the next day. Nope. It isn’t the fuel tanks.

I don’t think it will ever happen again. I'm not 100% convinced it ever did occur.

How does inerting tanks prevent against SAMs again?Just accept that this man's crusade is entirely an emotional one, and move on to other threads.

Good link.
Those who believe the official version should have a look.

Did NASA ever believe Grissom’s story that his Mercury Capsule hatch ‘just blew’?

It wasn’t a spark in the fuel tank! We all know that. check
with the 100 witnesses as to what they saw.

Yeah, those "fuel tanks" are a Biotch!!
Funny ... none of the other 'pilot eyes in the skies' that night saw anything resembling a SAM ...
See, the airlines under the direction off the FAA fly in what may be termed 'air lanes' for the purposes of orderly directing traffic in the skies, and TWA800 was not the only craft in those lanes that evening ...

There were a lot more eyewitnesses than that!
Also Jack Cashill, the author of First Strike, which is about TWA800, will be on Hannity’s America this Sunday 7/29 talking about TWA 800. Everybody tune in!
