Not like the video I suspect, which showed a brief flow of 'something'
afire and a small fireball before the big BOOM. Nor, AFAIK, are FTS
single point like the explosion.
They can be pretty small if their only purpose is to open up lightweight
liquid-fuel tanks. (Solids take rather more persuading to come apart.)
But agreed, that doesn't seem to be what happened this time.
