The entire point of jet fuel is that it DOESN’T “blow up easily”, though.
unlike gasoline, It actually takes quite a bit of effort to ignite avgas in it’s liquid form because it’s designed to be aerosolized before being ignited.
I assume it’s a reference to one of the 9/11 conspiracy theories.
The claim was that jet fuel doesn’t burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel. Therefore a bunch of burning jet fuel alone wouldn’t have been enough to collapse the towers. Therefore someone must have put something else there.
I can’t remember the which is which. I just remember that Avgas and 100ll are the two types of aviation fuel. My brain doesn’t have the ability to remember which is which. Which is probably why it’s a good thing I’m not a pilot…

And… Is this post about 9/11?
No one mentioned 9-11. I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Even XKCD got in on the joke. https://xkcd.com/966/
I thought Avgas was 100ll, not jet fuel?
