I should've put smileys on that.  I was just appeasing
Peter by suggesting a possible scenario if I asked the
question AFTER trying and failing as he suggested.

Official note:  No resonators were harmed in the writing
of this email, nor in any experiments.

Cheers,

Wow... I've blown up a *lot* of parts in the past 20 years. Never
a ceramic resonator though. You are truly talented... ;-)

Seriously though, I can't think of any way to blow up a resonator
like that except maybe a "hard" 5V and ground (or more) across
it. Even then I'm not sure why it would blow up as it looks
mostly like a capacitor. I guess it's possible though, since you
did it!
