Original Note:
The airplane did not 'explode,' nor was there any fireball. This is an electrical arc, caused by a short in the wire, which may have briefly ignited other material in the immediate vicinity of the ground power connection to the airplane. Nothing exploded. https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/mechanical-malfunction-sparks-fire-on-airbus-delta-jet-arriving-at-sea-tac-airport/ar-BB1lWEiL
