Probably whether or not the ship was loaded with jet fuel or something...

My favorite thing about the jet fuel argument is that it's actually true. It's irrelevant, but it's true.

Wait! Are you saying those planes had jet fuel in the tanks?

To make matters worse, it was loaded with a bio-organic payload that is mostly hydrogen and oxygen, both of which are incredibly volatile.
