exploded
Went off violently
Exploded describes something that has burst apart violently or suddenly: The bomb exploded.
Beyond physical blasts, it applies to rapid expansion or increase: The population exploded.
A person who explodes loses their temper suddenly: She exploded when she heard the news.
