Question about FAEs

I started out thinking it would be easy to debunk conspiracy theories
about 9/11. But I seem to be having troubles.

Here is another one of my troubles. Everyone will remember the videos of
the second plane hitting the trade towers. What some folks may not have
seen was that the fuselage of the plane had gone all the way through the
building:

Background:
The ABC footage shows twelve frames for the length of the plane to pass
into the building. Unless they were using 60 frames/second equipment,
(and that is possible), the velocity was 450fps, 300mph. (A 767 is 180
feet long.)

I did some research on FAEs, (Fuel Air Explosions), and I may have some
of it wrong. But if the fuel is kerosene I've found that it needs to be
well atomized, ( less than .1mm droplets? ), and doesn't have a great
margin for the fuel air ratio.

So there would likely be a shallow zone for an FAE in the building. But 
here is the confusing part. The fuselage has come out of the building by 
some 50 feet intact. I can come up with no mechanism that would disperse 
fuel forward in the fuselage, much less perfectly. If what explodes the 
fuselage were part of the building explosion, there should be no delay 
of several frames between events. The fuselage disappears in a white hot 
explosion yet the main body of the explosion in the building doesn't 
even break windows on the other half of the building.
Best, Dan.
