I've made a "mini FAE" out of a large trash bag, a small amount of gasoline, and a large firecracker. THAT was a heck of a BOOM. Kerosene or jet fuel would not have exploded.

The fuel tank "explosion" theory was extensively modeled. They even had quite a time getting it to catch fire.

My father delivered bulk diesel, kerosene, and gasoline for an Atlanta distributer for 15 years.

The only incident he ever had involved diesel fuel which ignited while he was filling a section of a tanker truck.

The tanker was divided into 4 or 5 five 10,000 gallon(I'll verify with him after he gets home from work). He had filled a section a little more than halfway when it ignited.

All it did was burn, no explosion.

The fire marshal never determined what ignited the fuel. It was a hot summer day.

Point is, while I'll buy the fact the jet fuel may have ignited...I have a hard time believing it exploded.
