Taepodong-2 blew up mid-air over East Sea, 40 seconds after its launch, turning the test into a failure. Did it have help "blowing up"? Or did it blow up all by itself? I.e., did we shoot it down?

It will take time to find out exactly what happened. Days, weeks, or months? I do not know.:) I would not rule out interception by some means.

Their paranoia would not have dared taken a chance that we would have recovered an intact launch vehicle: once the test was deemed a failure, their range-safety crew (or equivalent) would have destroyed the missile.

Er.... let us say it had an accident. And now there will be some serious accidents of cannibalism in NK heavy rocketry program plus in security agencies. All the better.
