Nothing wrong with not knowing why the Ghost didn't explode, I don't know either
Again, only speculation, but perhaps the very high speed near-vertical impact into the hard surface means that the structure of the aircraft and the uncontained fuel is dispersed too rapidly and widely for any flame front to keep up.
