Should jets explode?

[RPS69]

Well... on the limping back, was the initial sensitive point.

Why is it that a plane explode in flight, by just moving the throtlle, and getting an unrecoverable fire damage from less than a 10th litter fuel excess!

Cutting that engine throttle, and entering into a dive should be enough to put the flames out, and a try to make a return to base.

That era engines wont be able to recover in flight from a flame out, thing much more likely to happen on any jet.
