Seems a novel / unusual failure mode. I had not heard of that one before this.
One of the very first crashes, fire in the engine nacelle. Fire occurred when the nacelle was moving from flight to landing configuration.

I mention that because this explosion and crash seems similar and occurred on final approach to the airfield for an emergency landing.
