FAA is addressing potential fuel tank explosions on Boeing 747-400F aircraft.

The regulator received reports about improperly applied cap seals to certain fasteners on specific 747-400Fs.

The FAA warned that improperly applied cap seals could fail to prevent arcing within the fuel tanks in case of a lightning strike or a short circuit.

This all goes back to 1996 when a Boeing 747-100 fuel tank exploded minutes after it had taken off from New York's JFK Airport, crashed into the Atlantic, killed all 230 on board, America's third deadliest air crash.

Problems with Boeing go back decades, are nothing to do with any Boeing 'wokery' in the past few years.

The only constant is change.
