Default Battery Explosion

Anyone ever have a battery explode when turning the key to crank the motor. Went to start my 55 Chevy (L88,M22,411 12 bolt)as soon as power to the switch a tremendous explosion under the hood. It dented the hood with impression of the battery caps in the hood of the 55 above the battery compartment and that's not thin metal. Cleaned up the mess, put in new battery, fired right up, started to drive and like someone turned the switch off it quit. Cranks, fuel, but no spark. Is it possible the boom or the wash down took out the MSD 6AL box there's no power to the coil. Had a battery tender on it could that have caused it. Thanks, Larry
