chazbone (OP) User ID: 42051234 United States 07/02/2013 11:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Article states the engines turned off, probably didn't fire anything. Just flipped a switch and watched the sucker burst! Maybe revenge for that SUNKEN boat with weapons to syrian rebels? Wait wasn't Russia the one that had the boat sink? Or am I mistaken? |

Lucky no one was hurt but their is still a toxic pool of chemicals they need to deal with. Anyone else think this may have been intentional? The TPTB sure as hell don't want ordinary people profiting of space first! [link to news.yahoo.com] intentional, safety precaution, because the rocket went off course |
