LOL, I blew something as well, but not really R/C related. I had built a variable loading circuit and wanted to test the power-dissipating properties of the heatsink. Wellll, let's just say that a TIP3055 transistor (rated for 10A) cannot pass 25A. :) Literally blew a hole in the casing of the device. But I didn't care since I was just playing around and half-expected that.
