Correct. They would have been destroyed. Explosives are not like road flares. They don't like heat. You cannot light them with a bic lighter.
C4 can be burned without causing detonation. It's on record being used as heat source to warm rations.
C4 requires a detonation in the order of 4500-5000 m/s to detonate. Aviation jet fuel-air mixtures detonate at around 1800 m/s. No way it can set off C4.
You can shoot the explosive it will not go off. Unless you shoot it with a HEAT round, but I don't think the aircraft carried M1A2 main battle tanks in the luggage compartment.
So all this going on about the terrible effects of heat and smoke and what not is just making you look bad. I know that the burden of proof is on mean, but that doesn't mean you can claim anything you please without looking it up first.
