What cause flight 800 to blow up over the Atlantic?
"The report's conclusion was that the probable cause of the accident was an explosion of flammable fuel/air vapors in a fuel tank, and, although it could not be determined with certainty, the most likely cause of the explosion was a short circuit."
So... you want to try and answer that question again?
Tell us the difference between "a combustible liquid" and "the vapor of a combustible liquid."

There was an electrical short from some wires in an underbody fuel tank that was empty of fuel but had vapors in it. You can throw a match in a drum of diesel fuel and the match will go out. Throw the same match in a just emptied drum of diesel fuel and you will have a big explosion.

Did only the vapors ignite or did it also cause the rest of the fuel to burn?
Well according to 99% of your posts most people are.
Your math is no better than your understanding of what a "flash point" is.
Now, if you can't answer the question regarding the difference between "a combustible liquid" and "the vapor of a combustible liquid," just admit it and we can move on to the next of your idiotic beliefs regarding 9/11.
Did only the vapors ignite or did it also cause the rest of the fuel to burn?
Only the vapors.
The rest of the fuel was distributed over the Atlantic as the plane broke apart and fell into the sea.
