Could that be that when the pilots 'pulled the plug' the boost was still at a level before detonation occurs.
One of the pilot stories (show in this thread) before did mention black smoke comming from the exhaust and the plane vibrating a lot. Sound like he was pushing it a bit too far. But none of the others mentioned it.
