Jet fuel cannot be made to explode with that much force because it has to be heated close to its ignition point to even vaporize. Anyone that has used kerosene lanterns knows how difficult it is to use them in cool weather, and jet fuel is engineered to be less volatile than K-1 kero.

Didn't the NTSB investigation claim that while the fuel tank was virtually empty there were still sufficient fuel/air vapor to be flammable? And that it had been heated both by sitting on the runway on a hot day and by the heat generated by the air conditioning packs located beneath the tank?

The NTSB stated a blatant lie. (how unusual)
