Take another look Lord F,
At 1:38 in the vid you can clearly see the starboard wing (what's left of it) is well ablaze at the sheared outer edge - (like a roman candle).
Given the port wing ripped off in that ridge/ ditch it would have started the fire, it would have spread rapidly (post explosion) away from the wing to the more readily combustibles within the fuse given the time it took for whomever is taking the video to arrive on site and start filming. What I mean to say is; that's an aftermath video, long after the fire has spread from source point to stuff that burns better than metal.
