And yes I know jet fuel is hard to ignite, but it seemed to do that rather well with the fatal Concorde flight.
Correct. Although there were differences such as ground and air temperature, the location of the punctures, wing/engine aerodynamics etc. Nonetheless a gaping hole pis#sing out fuel is never a good situation. Sadly for Concorde ALL the holes in the swiss cheese lined up that day. As for Qantas they were saved by the omission of a few holes in the swiss cheese.
