Why 24 reasons when all you need is one?
Jet A does not explode at sea level.
40 years of data from NASA , FAA, DOT, Army Corp of Engineers and Caltech's Explosion Research Team investigation of TWA 800

David Handshuh's (NY Post) photo proves there was an explosion and not a flashover.
Jet A fuel is a nonflammable under domestic law.

A Review of the Flammability
Hazard of Jet A Fuel Vapor in Civil

Jet A and A-1 flash points are currently specified to be a minimum of 37.8°C (100°F). This limit was set in 1975, when it was reduced from 40.6°C (105°F), in order to conform to commodity classifications of “nonflammable” liquids [4]
