Not often you have this kind video. This happened two days ago. The video will send chills down your spine. PA31T enroute, in flames, then you hear a loud pop and it goes down in flames. There are two different videos. Unusual for a PT6A powered plane to be this involved in this kind of flame.

That looks like possibly some cargo or something exploded.   I don't know of anything, especially on a turbine, that would explode like that.

Very sad.

That boom is airframe failure.   

 I read that the wing was located away from the fuselage, so that would make sense.  The flames and smoke have me baffled though.

The wing is in a different location than the main wreckage in one of the videos above.

Is the PA31 wing attached the same way as a PA28R?  I wanna say I've seen that it's a different design, but if it's the same... :o

Definitely not a PA28 wing at all. They are based on a Navajo, if you look at a Cheyenne (I, II, III) you will recognize the Navajo lineage:
