With that much heat pouring into the wing at what looks like the wheel well compartment, what is the most vulnerable component ? What is most likely to burn / explode ? Makes sense to me.

Something happened after burn through to cause the ship to get sideways. We have sensors indicating a rise in temperature, we have the information acknowledging the left right motion of the ship, we have the video capture showing the ship sideways, and then we have disintegration.

I would rank them in this order IMO

1. The door

2. the tires

3. the explosive bolts
