There was a danger of an explosion just after the accident because it was full of kerosene, about 100 tonnes of it, and there was a big leakage when it broke

Sounds to me like this was likely during takeoff

IIRC, Fox News said it was taking off. It will be interesting to see if the FAA (or their European counterpart) orders immediate inspections of 747 cargo planes.
