Remember back in Auto Shop one of the first things the teach you is NOT TO SMOKE around a battery!!! a leaking battery only needs a spark to blow ITSELF up. Most likely a bad cable arced when you turned the key.

No one was smoking around the car so it must of been a battery cable, however I have new ones on the car.??
Maybe one of the cables was loose and sparked when I tried to start the car.
