My question is:

Given a bomb perhaps in the rear cargo hold, it would release a blast with extreme heat around.. Now, since the main wreckage (wings, fuselage, hence forward cargo hold) has caught fire, why there is a number of baggages -supposedly coming from the rear cargo hold- intacted and not burnt?
Suppose the bomb is somewhere near the aft cargo door and ruptures the fuselage, enough to break tail lose, most of luggage will clear the hold instantly and be spared of fire which should mostly be around fuel tanks in the wings and center of a/c.
