“I thought it was jet fuel at the time. You’re probably right.”
I didn’t see it, so my comment was only conjecture. But since any of the aircraft’s fuel would have emanated from a point where it would have been ignited, it would seem unlikely that it would not have caught fire and burned up.
Oh, that I know something about.
Jet fuel is not very flammable unless it is vaporized. The massive fires that broke out in the Twin Towers were caused by fuel vaporized by the high kinetic energy of the impact.
I know this because I've tried to light a charcoal fire with diesel fuel. It doesn't work. It won't light. You have to spray a little camp fuel on it first. Then the heat from the camp fuel will vaporize the diesel, and it will burn.
I know that diesel is not identical to jet fuel, but I think it's pretty close.
Anyway, there was so much fuel on board that aircraft, I thought it was reasonable that a lot of it didn't burn in the explosion, and ran down the outside of the building. I didn't think of the possibility that the sprinkler system was flooding the building. That actually seems like a more likely explanation, in hindsight.
Friction of the plane body hitting the steel of the building would generate all that was needed.
Once of the reasons the Muzie thugs picked the planes they did was because they were on long distance flights from airports near NY. The Islam fascists knew they would be full of jet fuel when they hit the buildings. Remember Bin Laden had a civil engineering background. He knew exactly what he was doing when he planned this.
