EPIC FAIL!

[JamesTJoplin]

That sucks to have a rocket explode!

[freklez123456]

uknow wat happened chuck norris came

[GATEJUMPER1]

can you imagine the guy with the head set on and saying "oops"

[Greniel11]

the way i see it is: rocket : ten billion fireworks

[chrismc410]

I think the rocket goes beyond Epic Fail. More like Fail for the ages, perhaps Fail of biblical proportions

[daltonagre]

This music was composed in the XIX century. Geat art doesn't gets older. I live in Brazil.

[nealshireman]

there was an error in the guidance system which automatically caused a "self destruct" with most pieces falling into the ocean instead of basically having an unguided missile possibly crashing into a city

[BradamAllibourke]

@nealshireman this is on Destroyed in Seconds, and they say it was a giant crack in one of the rocket thrusters. Thats what caused it to go BOOOM!

[nealshireman]

@BradamAllibourke that may also be true

[BradamAllibourke]

@nealshireman it is true

[3ridetec]

fitting, but unexplainable.

[NEPTUNEMARIUS]

what the hell is that???

[waincan]

That's Aweeeeesome!!!! I hope nobody gets hurt.

[Brycesv1]

best firework ever

[housemadrid]

V of Vendetta....this video reminds me soo much of that incredible movie

[Kossukunkku]

ok you guys need to buy more from china

[YourFavoriteHacker]

oh shit their skrewed like a nail!! lol

[Chesehead7]

It was a Delta II American rocket. It launched a satelite, the only thing that survived the explosion was the satelite

[halo3lad09]

"its up its up oh shit its down" lol

[marioelie]

nicely done. a real good fit for 1812 overture. better than fireworks!

[discrepancy666]

Thats the most expensive (and biggest) firework ive ever seen :)

5*

[westxlcr]

Hehe, it's the Battle of Borodino all over again!!

[Chesehead7]

What the heck is the Battle of Borodino

[westxlcr]

The battle that the 1812 Overture gives tribute to.

[rockyrhode2007]

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sokoweb]

ahahahahaha americans :D:D:D:D:D hahahahahahaha

[ecyor0]

Oh, I dunno if it's really fair to put it down to americanitus - rockets are temperamental things no matter how carefully you make them

[brageyboy]

That's really one in a million shots right there, looks like a bloody war zone when the debris falls down.

[Letisgo]

It wasn't a Russian rocket, it was American (2)

[relldavis]

Truly magnificent.

[TrillionGrams]

Haaaaaaaaaa ha haa!! I'm going to hell.

BTW, WTF is wrong with the brass in that band!?

[leeraconteur]

"Note to self: Make sure the next one ISN'T a bomb."

All rockets are bombs.

[p9939068]

Hey, this looks a lot like where the economy is going!

[dizzleblackizzle]

The irony of a Russian rocket blowing up to the music of their very own 1812 overture is just hysterical

[vladtheimpalor962]

Not that hysterical, since it's not a russian rocket. ;)

[ChaoticCubizm]

It wasn't a Russian rocket, it was American

[Petersaberros]

epic

[trueloveisadream]

fuck yeahh!

[daltonagre]

This music was composed in XIX Century.Great art doesn't gets older.

[revenantphoenix]

when the scientists saw that, they said:

oh, SHIT!

[WojciechSz]

It's legendary Delta II explosion in 1997 with GPS-2R satellite.

Sounds funny with this music, because part of Czajkowski's 1812 Overture is anthem of the Russian Empire :D

[c0mmons3nse]

i'm sure this was what was going through thr engineer's mind when he saw this (or her):

Note to self: Make sure the next one ISN'T a bomb.

[aiyuo]

epic fail

[alucardandluroon]

you know their jaws droped when they saw that one.

[loopy1980]

goodness gracious, great balls of....millions of dollars

[tybo09]

one of the most expensive fireworks shows of all time.

The thing is, I think this was an "intentional" explosion. Well, intentional in the sense that the range safety ordinance detonated the rocket.

Everything they launch (even the shuttle) has a self-destruct capability that is triggered if the thing starts going off course.

I'm pretty sure it's a manual system on the shuttle, but I think it was automatic (or at least computer-controlled) here.

They should totally do this at night.

[artwleb]

Initial failure was a solid burn through - not a RSO action.

[Thenewguytcs]

what a mess

[rdvd7]

control:uhh houston we have a problem

houston:what is it?

control:big rocket go BOOM!

[laguero99]

rofl.  XD

[ZachM534]

Those would be fireballs if i've ever seen one.

[sexquadragintilliona]

That clip was from World's Most Amazing Videos and this music of course was added over the sounds on the Amazing Videos clip.

[scott97322]

wow that did tons of damage

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

1 Billion Bucks A Pic you know.

[amason1980]

Brilliant! Thank you.

[LadyRiwen]

Elliot...I love you. :P

[jiminycricket5]

Amazing! Love the way the music and action are timed to coincide!

[SingularityTracker]

That what's called editing ...
