... if that was the case surely planes would be dropping out of the air daily as their engines melted from the extreme heat cause from the fuel burning and them flying any where longer than a couple of hours...?
oOOOOOoooohhhh you're right! I just remembered, we used to have a kerosene lamp that used to burn all night without melting down.
And also an old kerosene blowlamp that we used to burn off old paint, and that didn't melt down either.
Doctor, how could I have been sooo stupid? ?

Now I just feel like a complete idiot!

Although I spose it is possible that they were designed to burn kerosene safely, sort of like a jet engine is.
If you want to see what happens to a very strong structure when the kerosene is not burnt in the engine, according to the design, have a look at this;
You see, in this case the kerosene is burning in a place which wasn't designed to burn kerosene.
And it fell out of the sky, just like you said.
And believe it or not, a skyscraper is also NOT designed to burn kerosene.
So that also fell out of the sky.
