It was 100t of jet A1...The fact there was no immediate explosion was only a matter of sheer luck
Which, if you understood the quality parameters of Jet A-1, and the circumstances required for a flammable mixture to form, would give you a far better explanation for the absence of any fire or explosion than "sheer luck"
