4. Carl Densinter, 34 years old, was killed by a fellow worker trying to prove a point. The worker, San Amote Pet, disconnected the internal landing gear settings on a Boeing 747 test plane. The plane's gear automatically retracted after take off, but come landing time they would not reengage, and the helpless Densinter could do little as the plane gradually ran out of fuel. In an attempt at an emergency landing the 747 exploded. Densinter was killed instantly.

Uhhh, the plane was out of fuel, ergo, no explosion.

Empty center fuel tanks can explode.

just like gasoline the fumes are more flamable than the fuel in likquid form. The empty tanks are in fact explosive. Had he atempted to land before he ran out of gas there would have been fire but no exposion.
