Quite right.

I'm just trying to give credit where due as perhaps the fuse plugs melted as they were waiting. IE IAW QRH drill.

Regarding the wheels/brakes.
The effect of exploding wheels due to shock cooling seems to be secondary to the effects of an actual fire.

Too many recorded cases of casualties due to fire, not many due to shock cooled exploding tyres.
