"Military labs made numerous attempts to get commercial jet fuel to explode at operating temperatures using sparking devices and other means, but they were unable to make the fuel explode."

That is not true. In fact, one of the findings of the TWA 800 investigation was that the military had already identified there was a problem regarding high temperatures in the fuel tanks of its E-4B (747) aircraft. The military adjusted its procedures to minimize the potential hazard. Boeing did not pass that info to the civilian world. It may have made a difference.

Can you present the thermodynamic data showing the explosive limits -- air / fuel/temperature/pressure ?
