Default BA 777 crash at Heathrow

Isn't it stretching things to think it would happen to both engines at
the same time when they are drawing from two different tanks? That's
stacking a lot of "If's" in a row.



It's not an if. When kerosene gets cold enough it waxes. Both tanks were
exposed to the same temps for many hours. Probably somthing in the region
of -65 C.
