GreyDuck: Too bad the video links all point to the-bad-site accounts. But, hopefully the "no casualties" report is actually the truth.

China recently performed a locked-down static fire on a rocket, and there was one problem: the rocket wasn't locked down. It shot up, fell down, and exploded. Orbital Index has the story, and links to spectacular (and terrifying) video. orbitalindex.com/archive/2024...

Too bad the video links all point to the-bad-site accounts. But, hopefully the "no casualties" report is actually the truth.

It [allegedly] came back down 1.5miles from where it went up, which is probably a good sign on that front.. It was a pretty big kaboom.
