Everyone knows it's because the only thing that can take down three full buildings is two commercial passenger planes.

It's simple maff.

Jet fuel is more dangerous than hypersonic missiles.

Well, jet fuel does release a lot more thermal energy than explosives. Ten times more energy than the same mass of TNT, for instance. Explosives just do it a lot faster.

I don't care for jet fuel, it's more prudent to ask who knew, and who was involved.

Jet fuel can be an explosive. Just depends on how you package it.

The difference between an explosion and a detonation is because detonations move faster than the speed of sound through the material. Guaranteeing that more of that energy is released in a smaller area.

Total Energy / Area*Time is what makes stored energy hazardous.

Jet fuel has comparatively more energy because it uses air for the oxidizer. Mixing in an oxidizer is what makes explosives go boom.

Yeah, that makes sense.
