Plot hole: When Dana realizes that the puppeteers made them choose their own deaths (while standing in front of Fornicus in the elevator) she does so by watching the puzzle ball he holds. But she never saw the puzzle ball back in the cellar. Only Curt handled it briefly and is shown approaching her without it when she starts reading the diary.

Question: Who overrode the tunnel's explosion? Was it Marty since he had access to the system from the maintenance hatch?

Answer: It's stated that the tunnel should have blown hours ago, so the initial failure is most likely human error, that the order to blow the tunnel simply didn't get through to the demolition team on schedule. The subsequent problem blowing it up is referred to as being related to "a glitch up top", later stated as a "power re-route upstairs". While not stated outright, the only plausible explanation is that this was, as you rightly stated, due to Marty messing around with the equipment that he found in the hatch.
