Explodey Goodness

August 13th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

I used to build and launch model rockets when I was a kid.  Luckily, I never experienced a catastrophic failure such as this:

Yep, you experienced an “anomaly” alright…

According to this news article, this $95 million dollar tax write off exploded 11 seconds after takeoff:

Residents said the blast could be felt as far away as 25 miles. There were reports that store windows 10 miles away were broken by the explosion.

Amazing.

Happy Friday!

    OH. MY. GOD!!!

    It amazes me that no one was hurt during this explosion. I was actually in Cape Canaveral for the 50th Anniversary of the John Glenn launch. And when the rocket lifted, the rumble of the earth felt like earthquake. And the sound was deafening.

    Thanks for sharing, buddy! Have a great weekend!
