So easy that in the previous 27 years of service it never happened before to a 747?
I am not sure your point, Boeing and other aircraft manufacturers understand the huge risk fuel vapors pose in the tanks and design systems to prevent them from exploding.
Aviation history is full of examples of incidents that only happened once as the industry works incredibly hard to investigate, learn and adapt.

I’m familiar with aircraft systems, there are probably only a handful of posters on here more knowledgeable on systems than me.
My point is: it takes a chain of events to cause an accident in aviation and to say one isolated “smoking gun” cause is disingenuous.
