combined with what we now know about the validiity of eyewitness testimony, i am not so sure, a small part of me wouldn't rule out some sort of foul play or subterfuge perhaps.
but tbh, there had better be some watershed level new info revealed because the research really really really does point to the electrical issue that caused the middle tank to explode.
as you prolly know, that very same issue happened 2 other times on 2 other identical 747s.

I saw part of the twa800 documentary tonight, an eyewitness, a foreign national said, (paraphrased) The FBI agent interviewing me mentioned that he knew I had a permanent visa request in motion. he told me that if I want to see that visa approved, I should shut up and forget about what I think I saw.
US nationals were similarly pressured and attempts were made to discredit them. THE CIA went so far as to make a fake dramatization of the events the FEDS wanted told which major news blasted for days. That in itself is propaganda. CIA performing propaganda on US soil is illegal, per the FEDS, public doctrine anyway.
A whistleblower at the time gave a piece of cloth, part of a seat cushion, to CBS news. They had it tested and found particulates matching what might be expected coming from a missile traveling at high rate of speed. At the test site there was a confrontation. Within hours the FBI was at CBS news in NY demanding they turn over the cloth. CBS caved. CBS was owned by GE. GE was/is major defense contractor.
Normal sea SOP is for ships in the area to come to the aid of any ship or craft in distress. Instead, the naval ships in the area, conducting live fire drills were seen hauling ass in the opposite direction of the downed airplane at 30 knots.
There's watershed.
