IMHO this occurance falls right in with a classic example of Occam’s razor, in that pilot error coupled with catastrophic mechanical malfunction were the causative factors.
Years ago I purchased a beater Dodge Dart with a “repaired” voltage regulator from a couple of middle east characters... that failed after a few weeks. An OTS voltage regulator at the time cost around $5, the repair was shoddy at best and the solder job was sloppy. Nice try... bomb makers blow themselves to pieces with a similar level of ineptitude.
