They won't explode unless they are off and in all the years I've hatched eggs I've had exactly one explode. It's not that common a mishap :). Give the eggs another day or 3 and candle again. You should be able to tell by then if they are viable. And if they look off sniff them. A rotten egg will smell pretty strong if intact, trust me, you'll know. Good luck with the hatch!
