Jet fuel burns, it is not highly combustible like gasoline. It was the VAPOR they were referring to when they said that they could not get it to ignite in the lab.

Actually nothing in a luquid state can burn it's the complete opposite. A liquid state removes the one portion of the fire triangle needed for fire which is oxygen. The other two parts are heat and fuel. Vapors or rather a concentration of vapors make the fuel. A lot of persons who fix leaks in gas tanks actually fill the tank with either gasoline or water but never will you find anyone willing to wield an empty gas tank. But as for 800 I think a stinger brought it down. It was hushed for reasons we now see the damage control to the stock market.
