Confined quarters -- like a tunnel complex, if you target (one of) its openings -- make a pretty good funnel for the shock wave. Not to mention the oxygen that the combustion uses up.
I don't think that they hit one of the openings, of which, no doubt, there are many. From what I read, the thing exploded mid-air, hundreds of feet off the ground.

Except on the Internet, where it's the only explanation.
I don't know what the expiration date for one of those is; obviously, someone needs to build it, a defense contractor who needs to get paid on a regular basis.
