US regulators are formally seeking comment on proposed fire-safety conditions to accept the large aft centre fuel-tank design for Airbus’s long-range A321XLR twinjet.

Can't help but wonder given the pi$$-poor regulating of Boeing they've been doing why they would worry about something that MIGHT happen in the event of a statistically unlikely event. I mean door plugs are pressurized on damn near every flight. Failing to bolt them in place makes every flight a potential disaster. How often are you going to have a crash that would be otherwise survivable but for the loss of integrity of an integral aft fuselage fuel tank?
