Here is a story on ATGM's:

This video show what happens when a ATGM hits the Ammo stowage compartments. But whats get me is why is there not any other tanks around, it also seems like the tank is just abandoned or maybe the tank crew is sleeping. Who knows.
The first incident it seems like the ATGM hits the rear left side of the turret where the ready and semi- ready ammo is stored. Then the jet if heat punches right through the ammo compartments, igniting the ammo propellet. The explosion of the ammo and pieces of the ammo are blown sky high and all over the tank. I could image if this tank did have a crew in it that more than likely the crew walk away from this with burn injuries.
Here is a image of the ammo compartments how they are designed and more than likely what happened:

This picture shows an estimated projectile path and what would have happen with that exact path. The center plate separating the ammo compartments is not very strong and the ammo compartment is completely sealed off from the crew compartment when the door is closed:

The ready ammunition door is opened and closed by an electro-hydraulic system. Electrically operated open and close solenoid valves in the turret valve control the direction of the fluid flow to the ready ammunition door hydraulic actuator. The solenoids, which respond to the position of the loader's knee switch. The position of the knee switch is monitored by circuits. The ammo door closed solenoid is normally energized, keeping the door tightly closed, as long as master or turret power is on, hydraulic pressure is available, the ammo door power switch is on, and the loader's knee switch is not pressed. When the loader's knee switch is pressed, this activates the ammo door open solenoid valve and deactivates the ammo door close solenoid valve in the turret valve. The ammo door open solenoid directs fluid flow to extend the door actuator piston, driving the door open. Upon releasing the loader's knee switch, a two-second-time delay is executed and the reverse happens.
As a safety feature, the ammo door incorporates circuitry that stops door movement if an obstruction is encountered during closing. The ammo door safety switch contacts close upon contact with an object in its path. The switch closing causes power to be removed from the ammo door close solenoid, which stops the door from closing. Upon removal of the obstruction, the safety switch opens, power is reapplied after a two-second-time delay, and the door will continue to close. This function is allowed until the door is in the last two inches (5 cm) of travel. At this point the ammo door hydraulic switch disables the ammo door safety switch.
Once the ready ammunition door has reached the closed position and hydraulic pressure is greater than 1450 psi (9997 kPa), a latch in the ammo door closing actuator grabs and pulls the door tightly against the door frame. This is to prevent any gas in ready ammo compartment from leaking into the crew compartment.
An ammo door power switch is also provided to allow users to kill power to the ammo door solenoid valves.






Red: projectile comes into ammo compartment creating hot fragments and an explosion igniting the ammunition stowed in both compartments.
Yellow:Blow out panels are then blown off with high force of pressure, energy and fragments shooting into the air.
