Yep Blowed Up REAL Good.
Unscheduled rapid disassembly.
They’ll need to get some Russians over to review their engineering. I was going to give China a pass on a test-firing gone bad, as that is the purpose of testing - but no excuse for the damn thing flying away!
Two other observations from the very beginning of the video. Note how all 4 apartment units in the view have air conditioning...China is no longer Third World as much as we may wish otherwise.
