ArmedTooHeavily
Whatever happened? A breach in the very unity of life, a biological paradox, an abomination, an absurdity, an exaggeration of disastrous nature. Life had overshot its target, blowing itself apart. A species had been armed too heavily – by spirit made almighty without, but equally a menace to its own well-being. Its weapon was like a sword without hilt or plate, a two-edged blade cleaving everything; but he who is to wield it must grasp the blade and turn the one edge toward himself.

Not getting hit, specifically, he was bragging about the effectiveness of our missile intercept.
FWIW I am a navy carrier vet, and I think it's extremely plausible that it was a laundry fire.
I also think that it never would have spread so much without significant failure by the crew to contain, and that's indicative of the general level of readiness in the Navy, but that's a whole 'nother bag of worms.
