Tarver cannot get it through his head that having the air handling units
operating under the CWT when the A/C is stationary is like putting a
pressure cooker with a small amount of fuel in it, on a stove at low
heat.

There have been several incidents world wide where Boeing A/C of various
models have exploded sitting at gates, on ramps, taxing out, or shortly
after take off after sitting with the air handling units running under ~
empty CWT's.

There are now "Air Safety Directives" stipulating/requiring certain
operating protocols to minimize this hazard associated with the "Boeing
CWT
Design Philosophy".

Splaps Boy is correct in that the A/C is not a "bomb" in the
conventional sense of large object full of high explosive that is
gravity-dropped on a target, but a Boeing 7x7 aircraft's CWT with the
right fuel-air mixture if detonated can equal several sticks of dynamite
in explosive power.

Please note "Splaps Boy" is the one screaming "Bomb" not be. I am simply
pointing out "The Boeing CWT Design Philosophy" results in conditions in the
CWT of Boeing A/C conducive to "Self Initiating FAE's (Fuel Air Explosion)".

Certain specified operating protocols have become minimum SOP to limit the
"Inherent Danger" associated with"The Boeing CWT Design Philosophy".
