Hmmm... The time sequence sure gives lie to the "They didn't know what
hit them." hypothesis, doesn't it?

There is an interesting article on the cover of this week's EE Times... Their
"expert" thinks it likely that the destruct charges of the flight safety
system exacerbated the 51L problem.  He points out the the flash point of
the explosive used is only 350 F.
