Beijing Tianbing Technology Co said on Sunday (June 30) that the first stage of its Tianlong-3 rocket under development had detached from its launch pad during a test due to structural failure.

    But an accidental lab leak is impossible? 😂
  • ‘Accidentally launches’ is not a phrase we like to see right now

    How do you "accidentally" launch anything?
  • @JoeGator23
    The Chinese build the best fireworks in the world... champions!

    I suppose there's no denying this was made in china, just saying
  • @runplatypus
    Accidentally launched sounds better than LAUNCH FAILURE.
  • @toter-drache
    I don't know which was more disasterous, The actual accidental launch or the attempt at filming it! 😂
  • @rockyroad7345
    As usual, they will officially say no one was injured. 🤡

    They build these launch site with absolutely no concern for the surrounding countryside or population centers. Imagine you're a farmer just working out in the fields with your family and that thing falls on your village just a hundred meters away. That's what we just witnessed.
  • Someone just ran out of the launch control building for the hills
  • @tdubya6906
    Oh you said ready for LUNCH not LAUNCH !! 🤦🤦🤦
  • @dimmkah
    I don't know if this should make me feel more worried or less worried about the fact that they have nukes.
