I´d be interested in seeing some pics (or gifs) of any planecrash that shows a fireball of comparable size (relative to the plane).

Here is two pics of a fighterjet just after a midair collision:

It is ofcourse not comparable at all. But if I compare the fireball to the size of the plane, I get something like : the fireball seems to be like 6-8 times the size of the plane.

Whereas with the flight 175 crash, the fireball seems to be like 25-30 times the size of the plane. And that is what´s squeezing out of the building. And still there was enough kerosine to cause huge explosions on the underground floors, after a ten(?)second fall (free fall)down the elevator shafts (whilst burning(?)), and still there was enough fuel left to weaken the steel so much that the tower came down...

(Again, the pics above are not comparable. I would like to see some that could be comparable...)
