Umm...jet fuel is not stored in the cockpit. Stupid TV news people...

I could be wrong, but what I gathered from the commentary and the video was that the cockpit was ripped open and jet fuel was pouring in from the torn wing. If that is the case, then it would be pretty horrifying in that cockpit.

The NTSB report said the DC-9 Captain was seriously injured and the first officer was slightly injured.
