I guess alot of people are unaware how crazy the chinese space program is.
While US and Europe as well as Russia launch rockets at remote areas to minimize collateral damage...China launches at rural area.
This happened at 7th September:
Right at launch the thermal insulation falls off. Later on the booster crashs right next to a school, releasing a highly toxic cloud of hypergolic fuel.
And that is not a uniqe event. It happens regulary:
Two years ago, the same happened:
in 1996 the most massive desaster happened, when a rocket diverted from course and smashed into a town. Foreign journalists were not allowed to leave the bunker for 5 hours as the worst debris had to be removed.
China leter said 500 people were killed in the impact zone, experts say the numbers more likely were several thousand.
