::It is never stated that any TARDISes explode during the Time War. Plus, the creepy voice that said "Silence Will Fall" before the TARDIS explodes could cause a larger explosion than usual - destroying the heart of the TARDIS and "unmaking" the universe. Also its possible that the TARDIS exploding on 26/06/2010 in Leadworth creates a bigger explosion than a Tardis would normally make due to whatever weird stuff has happened/is happening at that date and time. | ::It is never stated that any TARDISes explode during the Time War.

::Also, remember that the Doctor explained that before the LGTW all TARDISes were powered by a connection to the Eye of Harmony, while since then his TARDIS is self-powered, which probably makes a big difference. | ::Also, remember that the Doctor explained that before the LGTW all TARDISes were powered by a connection to the Eye of Harmony, while since then his TARDIS is self-powered, which probably makes a big difference. | ||
:::How the explosion of TARDIS unmakes the universe is deliberately left vague. It may well remain so ever if one day we learn how the explosion was engineered. This is because if at present it provokes observations of discontinuity, explaining could well create a discontinuity minefiled. | |||
:::At the moment the crack is described in two terms, the result of the TARDIS exploding and "two points in space time that should never have touched pressed together" (or something similar). Now the former is what we see in the series finale, the latter is what we are told my the Doctor every time Steven Moffat recycles that clip from The Eleventh Hour whenever the crack otherwise mentioned. :::But did the beginning of the crack (two points pushed together) cause the TARDIS explosion or did the TARDIS explosion cause the beginning of the crack (two points...). The end of the story makes it clear the event was deliberate, hardly surprising, this sort of consequence to TARDISes going wrong seems counter-intuitive. Some unknown agency brought the TARDIS to that specific date and blew it up. But is that is direct or indirect "blow up"? | |||
:::Direct is that the agency parks the TARDIS in Amy's garden on 26/6/2010 which is somehow a fragile point and causes it do explode inevitably resulting in all the successive damage, obviously no-one holds that TARDIS's are predisposed to explode that this in any circumstances so that can't be easy. | |||
:::Indirect means that 26/6/2010 is one of the two points and the TARDIS or some part of it is the other and when the TARDIS is forced to park there the crack is caused and the explosion necessarily follows. But we don't know which occurred. | |||
*River said that there were Cyber ships, but Cybus Cybermen appeared in the episode. The Cybus Cybermen aren't a space travelling race, so where were the Mondasian Cybermen? | *River said that there were Cyber ships, but Cybus Cybermen appeared in the episode.
