Tianlong-3, a two-stage kerosene-liquid oxygen rocket comparable to SpaceX’s Falcon 9, experienced the failure during a test of its nine engines intended to power the first stage.
At 3:43 pm, the engines were fired according to plan, and the engine thrust reached 820 tons. However, a structural failure caused the rocket to detach from its launch pad and blast off.
All villagers in the area, which is remote and far from the city center, had been evacuated before the test.
probably would be better if they didn’t have these flying over populated areas with a bunch of terrifying fuels aboard but what do I know, we have trains carrying the worst stuff ever in our back yards
Damn US sourced parts!

Chinese build quality moment .
Cool just casually ignore China’s entire state space program which was a massive success for one failure of a privately owned company because you hate the government and not the people.
The video is insane. Whoever fucked up is not going to have a good time.
Even when they fail they fly, folks
