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.
