 I know you will never do that as you are completely autistic.

** Been explained already -  the likely scenario is that the high base 
current that drove the switching transistor hard on passed to over to Q1 
after the fusible resistor opened.

Q1 is a relatively fragile, low voltage device  -  so it failed.

** Then go post under those words.

I know you never will do that since they do not exist.

** There is no such thing in the data sheet.

Correctly interpreting component maker's data is a whole science in 
self   -  that also takes long experience to become expert at.

Counts YOU out completely.

** I was explaining that the basis for the advice given was experience  - 
shame I cannot supply a URL for that.

 Now piss off -

you trolling  PITA  idiot.
