I guess since the underwear thing didn’t work, the Jihadis are back to lighting their sneakers, which didn’t work either.

It worked once...see Flight 587, Long Island Sound.

wikipedia - The crash (Fight 587)was witnessed by hundreds of people, 349 of whom gave accounts of what they saw to the NTSB. About half (52%) reported a fire or explosion before the plane hit the ground. Others stated that they saw a wing detach from the aircraft, whereas in fact it was the vertical stabilizer.[8]

Why would rudder loss cause fire or explosion?

That flight crashed because of over control of the rudder. There's no doubt about it.
