“Nada —not a single explosion.”
Which any farm boy or lumberjack could have told them would be the case since Jet/Kerosene/Diesel (all closely combustion related) do not ‘explode’ like gasoline. Otherwise, every garage and mechanical work area for 100 years equipped with a parts washer would have been a ball of fire.
To say nothing of every oil/kerosene heater in existence...
Sure they do. Their flash point is just higher then gasoline. Which means it is harder to ignite.
I’ve picked pieces of a jet up off the ground before. I guarantee there was a flash boom when it hit the ground.
