With as much jet fuel that poured down the elevator shafts from the mostly full fuel tanks, of course there would be multiple explosions.

Because the fumes from fuel would have been constantly burnt off in the fire from the first explosion; it wouldn't have time to build up the amount of fumes necessary to cause an explosion.
On the other hand collapsing floors would sound and feel very much like explosions.

OK, that is so inappropriate. What if the child of some victim of 9/11 sees that and then thinks it alright to run around demolition zones barefooted?

Jet fuel is just like diesel is just like kerosene. It's not the fumes that burn so hot, as much as the fuel itself superheating the surrounding air and creating extraordinary pressure. The heat would lead to inevitable failure of structural steel--that's why the hot portions of jet engines are specialized steel alloys and/or titanium alloys.
