Urgent design changes urged for 747 fuel tanks
The NTSB on Friday urged the FAA to require design changes to Boeing 747 center fuel tanks to prevent explosive fuel air mixtures. Insulation between heat sources and tanks and cooler fuel refueling from underground tanks are among recommendations. Operational procedures and wiring inspections were also addressed as safety measures amid the July 17 TWA 800 disaster.

Colorado River promises outpace delivery, study warns
San Francisco AP reports that nearly 30 million acre feet once flowed to the Colorado River delta but now little fresh water reaches it. A seven-state and Mexican use may worsen this crunch, with California, Nevada, and Arizona already shown over-allocation risks. Recovery ideas include efficient irrigation, crop shifts, and federal action akin to Grand Canyon water increases, yet cross-border cooperation remains essential.
