Myth Buster explosive question

I was just watching the green hornet episode (orig air date 12/15/2010).

At about 57 min into the show they blow up a bulldozer. They use some amphor (sp) with what I think were blasting caps. They show the scene in slow motion and you can see a light travel up the lines to the caps, you then see an explosion (an here is the thing I don't get) then you see light traveling down three lines back to the detonator? Is it a closed loop of some sort?

The light I am referring to is not an actual light (I just don't know how else to explain it). It kind of looked like that cord you light with a match and it burns really quick (it was lighting fast on the show).

Anyone know what the deal is?
