I was thinking the intense heat from the initial fire may have popped the rear tires first and got the truck sideways and sent it off the track, but it's hard to say.
JP5 jet fuel is just diesel fuel so it didn't explode after the rollover.
I remember seeing two jet trucks do their thing at the old l 1/4 mile Blaney dragstrip near Columbia back in the 1980s or 90s. Very impressive and memorable.
You just hate it for the driver and his family and friends. RIP
