Thanks. I wasn't sure about that.

The AC units on this 747 were directly below the center fuel tanks. TWA 800 was late to push back by more than an hour. It was the middle of July. The ACs were cranking and working hard in the summer heat.
So, this is the one time over the past 30 years a 747 was waiting on a hot tarmac waiting to take off that overburdened an AC unit.
In tropical New York, no less.

Yeah, it's different on every 747...I was one one on a trip and they had a window unit on my row. Looked like they took it out of a single-wide...
Crazy

It's threads like these that make me realize just how fortunate we are to have this msg bd. Experts in every field and on every event of significance.
The OP... Has spoken about that 'fateful day', 'beautiful day' that had crowds on the beach, 'clear day'... It was 830p.m. While I know that the sun is still up...

Sunset in NYC is 8:24 on July 17. Certainly there was still plenty of light at 8:30 and the civil twilight is 8:56 PM.
Thus, it was still very much "daylight " at the moment of the explosion

No, it happened on the test flight so it overburdened the ACs and cooked the fuel tanks every time it happened. Just needed an old plane with old wiring.

This is how I know, that you have zero clue what you’re talking about
‘Jet fuel’ is very similar to diesel, and isn’t considered ‘highly volatile’
Source: I’m around it every single day
**** why do people think it’s okay to hit the internet and act like they know everything around a bunch of strangers? When in reality, they don’t know shite.
It’s a phenomenon I will never completely understand

Cal Tech couldn't get the fuel to ignite with a spark at the specified temperature range. They had to resort to a torch.
And sometimes a torch doesn't work. Jet fuel has to atomized to burn properly. Skip to the 2 minute mark:

Why is this so hard to believe?
Because there is not enough oxygen in the containment volume and jet fuel needs to be atomized to ignite.

Been one just off of Long Island since the 1920's. Notice the color key in green indicating test firing range.

The NTSB version. I'll have to look it up, but I recall that the many witnesses said it blew up.
Posted on 3/3/25 at 4:19 pm to GumboPot
The FBI interviewed over 670 people who were on the beach. About 100 said they saw a missile while others only looked up when the plane was exploding. As I recall, there were many more who simply got stood up or brushed off.

Fax Gives Glimpse of Crash Investigation
By W. Michael Pitcher
Official documents faxed mistakenly to a Riverhead resident recently
show that the Federal Bureau of Investigation two months ago was
investigating whether pieces of debris found among the wreckage of TWA
Fight 800 were the remnants of an aerial target drone used by the U.S.
Navy and other armed services training exercises. The FBI apparently
has since determined that the wreckage was not from the aerial target.

it was dusk, and although pretty close to summer solstice they aren’t that far north for very much light at that time, not a big deal one way or another
