You really need to understand just how hard fuel air bombs are to set off.
And the fact that there is no other record of such an occurance is pretty devestating to your speculaiton.
Atmospheric explosions of space debris are a big enough issue that NORAD and the DoD has had to monitor this and assure that the explosions are not in fact atmospheric nuclear detonations.
