Blow AC Hose ?

Hello all. I haven't had a chance to go to a mechanic but yesterday, after having driven my Viggen for 3 hours in hot weather with the top down and *NO AC*, a couple of mins after shutting off the engine, I heard a really loud bang with plenty of smoke coming from the engine bay and there was green dye all over the area between the fan and the engine on the left, above the cat.
It smelled like R134 (?) and the smoke lingered for at least 15 min. It was so loud that people came around in the garage area to find out what happened.
What could have possibly happened ? The AC was serviced a couple of months ago, ran well and super cold.
Yet, I hadn't been using the AC the last couple of days. In your opinion, what could cause the AC system to blow a hose ?
Thanks !
