Because you make the circuit complete by doing this, and then electricity is turned into heat and light within a few seconds, and BANG!

hey,hey, how is the circuit complete. I've not connected the two wire! I've just put them in the plug separately.

you didn't say what blasts , not surely only the wire burns
and you put them in the plug where one is positive and another negative , it can still complete the circuit
