An unmanned Russian Proton-M rocket has crashed just seconds after its launch from the Russian Baikonur facility in Kazakhstan.

Dramatic video footage broadcast by Russian TV shows the rocket breaking up before exploding into a fireball over the Baikonur cosmodrome.

Could have been catastrophic loss of life if it travelled say 50 kms before crashing to earth :sweating:

Even the Rocket Drivers in Russia are bad!  :rofl: (sorry Misha)  :-[
