Delta-2 Rocket Explosion

[L0rdsalamence]

Americans cant make good spacecraft.... here in china we have satellite with nuclear missiles, only nation to do so... fuck usa, we will nuke u when we annex u

[DoctorBohr]

@L0rdsalamence Face it, in China you aint got sh!t except Great Wall cars.

[lefayad1991]

to me it sounds like 0:40 - 0:51 is saying

SAW SOME WOOKIES

GREAT BIG WOOKIES

THEY CAME TO MAUL DARTH VADER

[samubabe101]

@lefayad1991 You might be on to something.. LOL

[diesDas8]

which song is this ?

[003Crazyface]

omg

[datinamou]

If only Geico could bundle my car insurance with rocket/satellite insurance.

[cixelsyD1988]

Just letting you guys know that the rocket here was SELF DESTRUCTED by the airforce after noting an SRM failure. The failure itself was not the direct cause of the giant explosion but the air force has the ability to blow up any rocket it thinks is going to have a problem. If you don't self destruct like this you could end up with what happened in china where a rocket went off course and hit a villiage killing hundreds.

[puffpet]

O Fortuna?

[JAAshard]

Wow NASA really know what fireworks to buy.

[Hawkclan1]

@JAAshard not really because of the 8 or so failures there have been over 30 PUBLIC successes.

[JAAshard]

@Hawkclan1 Yer i was joking.

[AccessDenied55]

Made in China

[Homer607]

wie heiß du musik am anfang

?

[TanzanianRoots]

Great music syncronisation.

[AccessDenied55]

I hope NASA had insurance................

[samubabe101]

@AccessDenied55 NOPE JUST TAX PAYERS MONEY

[Skandalos]

Looks like WC3 RoC.

[MadeInLat1]

Bad day at rocket factory

AGIN!

[MattTheSaiyan]

The thing is, Delta II is usually a very reliable rocket. Which makes the failure such a shock. Still, no matter how reliable a rocket is, one cannot and shouldn't expect a 100% success rate. Also, since nobody died in this, would it be safe to admit the disaster is almost kinda funny?

[taz9711]

fuking hell comment if you foght it was crazy

[wweman6]

Thats the biggest firework ive ever seen.

[AZ29174]

Music:"Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi"(aka "O Fortuna") from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. This music is often used, in present times, for apocalyptic, dramatic, forceful movie scenes. BTW the most famous piece composed and premiered in Nazi Germany.

[klaprat]

looks like a fake:D

[grrttr]

@klaprat It's not fake or edited.

[evinado1]

@klaprat

Unfortunately, it wasn't a fake.

[Bhorzo]

Appropriate choice of music.

[Uoyab123]

whats the name of that song. btw people the control center destroyed the rocket because i was going off course

[ned987]

It looks like an atom bomb went off!

[DonBringer]

METAL SHOWER! RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[pooponabun]

naa, that'll buff right out

[Piculin]

True definition of "Epic Fail"

[senna197488]

the end of the world ! lol

[pimpedvw]

shouldn't have lit that cigarette.

[ClemZS31]

omg

[ti994apc]

This will happen to all rockets eventually when using Solid rocket fuel. Someone made a bad choice to use solid rocket strap on's. It does not matter if its shuttle or an Indian rocket. Thats is why I am a fan of liquid fueled rockets like Delta rockets with no solid strap on's, Atlas V, Soyuz, and most of all Falcon9.

[carnivoreplant]

Listen to the music 0:40 - 0:51

SALSA COOKIES

WINDMILL COOKIES

THEY GIVE YOU GONORHEA

[TargetWebcamsitoJr]

@carnivoreplant JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJJAAJJA

[samubabe101]

@carnivoreplant IM CRYING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMENT>ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMMENTS I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS.

[joeybab3]

@carnivoreplant #LOL

[Zach121k]

@carnivoreplant i wixh i could thumb that a million times

[Zach121k]

@carnivoreplant its more like tasty cookies than windmill

[sandog916]

@carnivoreplant hahaha i actually went to 0:40 and had no idea what it ment until i said GONORHEA , i actually said it out loud in class LOL you made my day hahaha

[sotel1]

Terrible music. Also this song should be banned from YouTube.

[villarrealCF93]

is that real?

[chapman1235]

OMG! SOMEONE FINALLY INVENTS THE CLUSTER BOMB ROCKET! THEY SHOULD HAVE USED THIS IN WW2!!!

[NorthsideRecords613]

What's funnier is this was there 2nd attempt first one also exploded check the vid on youtube LOL...This company should just stop launching rockets they are risking killing to many people. They are like bombs basically when they come back down

[Ogopogo57]

epic fail

[EonShifter]

what song is that



[napischu]

Theoretically they'd cut their losses by giving me the entire production budget. I hope they donthat the next time they decide to make a disfunctional rocket :(

[ConjurerDarkBlood]

wow good thing it wasnt on the ground bye bye platform

[maliq841018]

Credit to Space Systems Failures book by David M Harland and Ralph D Lorenz.

At T+13 seconds, at a height of 1600 feet,the vehicle exploded. For the next 10 minutes , 250 tonnes of hardware and propellant rained over a radius of 3000 feet around Pad 17A.

[FlowMajster]

Billion dollars FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PokemasterRamon]

OMG ITS THA END OF THE WORLD!!!!! wait what?oh so its not...........sorry

[Camerameister]

Rockets never go SLIGHTLY wrong, do they?

[44R0Ndin]

@Camerameister

well, yes, actually they do sometimes (known as "failed to reach desired/programmed orbit", generally when the rocket's final stage cuts out too early, resulting in a low or unstable orbit) but those dont make the headlines!!

[Camerameister]

@44R0Ndin LOL! Yeah, fair enough.

[RecklessTornado]

The Delta 2 rockets are mostly sucessful like 80 or something percent. I don't understand why won't they put the orion spacecraft on the delta 2 and launch the lunar lander on the delta 4 heavy?

[danschaoticmind]

@RecklessTornado Simple, the Delta 2 rockets are not man Rated. Meaning they experience G acceleration beyond the tolerances normally experienced for launches. A number of other minor issues as well but mostly because they would have to man rate the launch vehicle for that.

[1RULER11]

Cool vidio of the rocket explosion!

[1RULER11]

Cool vidio of the rocket explosion

[tocool474]

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH i think i found my weapon of choice against iraq.

[JMRabil675]

coolest way to die

[senoritafish]

@JMRabil675 lucky no one was onboard

[jimcmf2]

does anybody know the name of this song in this video?

I would really appreciate knowing what it is.

Thanks,

[KuBi4K]

@jimcmf2 Carmina Burana - Carl Orff

[pokemega100]

good video!

[Guhuskies6]

what song is this

[slapnpopbass]

Oh Fortuna

[ZbLuffer]

Wow, just... wow! :( Hope nobody was hurt.

[senoritafish]

@ZbLuffer Nope. witch is good

[xxlllidanxx]

Armageddon....

[ilovepinkfloydyay]

Basically it was a problem with the gigahertz modem.

[ralbiruni]

Faillure of the first basic part of this rocket.

Good lesson to make hight fiability rockets!

[sbergman27]

@ralbiruni : Delta II *is* a "hight fiability" rocket. Total launches is 147, with 145 successes, one failure (this one), and one partial failure, in which the satellite payload was able to compensate when the rocket put it into an incorrect orbit.

For a real chewing gum and bailing wire launch system, look to the Orbital Sciences Corp "Taurus", with a 25% failure rate, including the one which dunked the $280 million OCO satellite into the Indian Ocean, near Antarctica, just a year ago.

[ralbiruni]

thanks for your very acute answer!

[BlazingAngels220099]

0:46 reminds of what the people are calling 2012

[Vip3r0]

haha nice firework!

[roydamanna]

wow looks like some kind of movie! but its real i know.. well nobody died. thats good :)

[patriciocoolmagic]

O_o_o_o_o_o_o__o_o_ wtf!

[kingdomcub]

It costs 46million dollars to fire this rocket, for tweleve seconds

[Furlockthe666th]

Fucking win.

[raderrader3911]

ur stupid

[snailplasma]

my dad acually worked on the gps satelite the rocket carryed

[AL3J4NdR001]

@snailplasma aka bitchplasma

yeah! sure... and my uncle is Werner von Braun...

[MattTheSaiyan]

One of the most amusing rocket failures of all time, up there with the Titan rocket failure that destroyed a $3Billion spy satelite and the ever popular Vanguard TV3 failure of 1957.

[PolysaturatedFat]

0:45-0:50 and 0:57-0:59 That's some EPIC fucking footage.

[death18012]

wat song is this?

[triptacker]

"O Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana" ny Karl Orff

[libraryquiet]

Take that annoying choir off! It reminds me of all of today's shitty ass movies. They always use that stupid choir on their trailers.

[poptartpencil]

wats the song? :) no... seriously

[haddara]

Carmina Burana

[spazzness723]

this would be better with out the music )=

[karadan100]

Did the people who made the delta 2 rocket which blew up 13 seconds after take-off in an impressive explosion, died?

[araheljazz]

I was actually watching this live. It caused one of our launches to be scrubbed (we were next). The guys in the launch building were OK. MacD made some major changes in the launch team setup after this.

[karadan100]

I bet they did.

I was surprised how close to the launchpad they were.

[poptartpencil]

well it was was one hell of a firework

[metallica123890]

what actualy amazes me is that how u can actually get on the moon some of u think its just a rocket and going on it...well it not so simpel

[DidHeDied]

did he died?

[arias1772]

falcon 9 shall take delta II's spot

[am0767]

how do you know about falcon 9?

[arias1772]

lol.. its not huge secret or anything... i just love spacex.. why do you ask?

[wiggen132]

ok then but i seen the same video from a different guy and it looked a lot different

[JephN]

no, no humans that close to the pad able to film.

[gregoryc100]

no it not

[wiggen132]

toataly edited but hilarious

[fer90ox]

It's not edited. This explotion really happend. If I remember right, there was a 5 meter crack in one of the rockets, which caused it to explode. The parts of the rocket flew up to 40 km away, and luckely nobody got hit or injured by the burning parts.

The rocket were containing a satelite, and the company lost ALOT of money.

[extreme989]

@fer90ox your 100% percent right! it all cost about $45,000,000!

thats my allowance in 10000 years

[iphoneguruhacker66]

@fer90ox

yes my friend you remember good.

I actually saw this!

I was one of the guys shooting the video.

It was amazing yet horrible.

Pieces flew everywhere In a rang of about 30-40 miles away.

The first explosion was so loud.

[kite781]

@fer90ox It was a crack in a fuel canister no one noticed after checking. Suddenly pressure and KABOOM

[gruntsrule12]

Whats that song called at 31

[ZemplinTemplar]

I believe it's Carmina Burrana. :-)

[sunstarfire]

That's correct. It's called "O Fortuna".

[douboymk2]

95 milion- worth every spark of the fire works

[JHix37]

what song is this. someone respond to this. i need this song :p

[thepissedkatamari]

Carmina Burama, O Fortuna

[cwbtle2]

the scene with teh debris falling looks like a clip you'd find on power rangers! no kiddin'!

[boomer757]

EPIC FAIL *sniff* Poor Trees lol

[EvaUpfold]

Very appropriate music : D

[dfr329]

apocolyspey song

[GUSRULZ445]

APOCOLYPSE!!!

[ithicaplasma]

those are giant chunks of solid rocket propellant burning at 5000 degrees raining down. Iv seen some pictures of the aftermath. the heat melted the car windows that where parked near by. After this incident Boeing went to a remote blockhouse, it was dumb luck that nobody was killed

[fourx5]

This isn't a NASA vehicle; it was an Air Force military GPS satellite. It did not launch from a NASA site, and the launch staff was all military - why did you name the video "NASA"?

[Azimuthtrekking]

This launch happened at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station which is across the river from Kennedy Space Center. This may have been a military payload but the ELV program is managed by NASA personnel. They work closely with the launch vehicle contractor and the payload contractor regardless which rocket is being used to launch whoever's payload. Kennedy Space Center along with CCAFS make up America's space port and NASA administers all of it. That's why it received the title "NASA".

[jasong19711]

because he or she is a dumb ass.

[tmaq97]

that is what a 95 million dollar bottle rocket looks like!

[chandler1193]

it looks like a friggin war zone!

[kf103]

@chandler1193 yep

[KS572]

great editing

[upyoursspammer]

A detailed technical narration of the accident would have much better than the useless music.

[l3inaryl3urnout]

there's one on youtube somewhere im trying to find it

[meowsqueak]

Nicely edited.

[massiveforces]

Sweet!

[logosiris]

O Fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana

[Shiruken]

OMG NICE! what's the name of this song? I've been looking for it forever

[fermarket]

nice mix.. !
