Nor the satellite...

I wonder why all the newsmedia refer to it as "the Facebook satellite" while in reality it is just the Spacecom AMOS-6 satellite, of which Facebook had planned to rent half of the Ka-band transponders for an internet project.

It wasn't really a crash. It was just going through pre-launch tests when it exploded on the launch pad.

That satellite hit the ground fairly hard.

I'm surprised that the tower didn't fall, soaking in burning kerosene.

That's what I told my insurance company about my wreck. "There was an anomaly."

Magic smoke?

Suprised how long it went with periodic explosions.

Now that Spacecom are trying to get monetary compensation, I see the first reference in the local paper about "Spacecom AMOS-6" and the fact that Facebook is only one of several companies that had booked for renting tansponder space on that satellite.

Apparently the news media today like Facebook so much that they immediately referred to it as a Facebook project, which of course it isn't.

Probably multiple small tanks, some of nasty stuff, cooking and exploding.

do you all see some small object pass quickly from right to left at 1:11 just (within 1 second) before the initial explosion?

seems too fast to be a bird?

There's also one at 1:31, and some after. It's birds close to the camera

Or a bird collective that was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock "The Birds" :-)
