摘要

This summer marked the 25th anniversary of the most complex and vexing aircraft accident in aviation history - TWA Flight 800. The vintage Boeing 747-100 had just departed from New York on its way to Paris when it suddenly exploded off the coast of Long Island. All 230 people on board were killed. As a rookie NTSB field investigator at the time, I was not involved in the years-long effort to solve the accident, but I sure do remember its impact, especially later when I taught at the NTSB Training Center where the TWA 800 reconstruction was housed (see top image at right). The NTSB concluded that the center wing fuel tank of the 747 exploded, likely due to wire chaffing and arcing outside of the tank, which led to a short circuit that allowed excessive voltage to enter the tank through the wiring for the fuel quantity indication system (FQIS). Additionally, NTSB examinations of wiring on 26 other airplanes of varying ages (ranging from new to 28 years old) revealed that all of the older airplanes exhibited numerous examples of mechanically damaged, chafed, cracked, and contaminated wires (see image at lower right). Sharp-edged metal drill shavings (which can damage wire insulation), fluid stains, and other potentially hazardous material were also found in or near the wiring of old and new airplanes.
