Not when confined in a building with only a penetration hole through

to access oxygen.


You mean a 16 foot hole that went straight through several walls and
buildings?
Oh. In any case I thought the wings sheared off. How did the fuel get
inside?

The fire ball erupted from within the building, so one can assume the wings
did not shear off. The NTSB believes the impact with the ground before
hitting the building broke the spars and the wings folded back against the
fuselage as it penetrated the building, which was a damn shame as the
passengers were robbed of what must have been an impressive view by wings
lying against the sides of the airplane. g
