YEH!!! ... and very well understated by the announcer, "We have an annomoly ... ". It's raining freaking fire balls, babe!!!

I wonder if this was one of the launches that blew up back in the 80's?

Who paid for the cars?

Who paid for the replacement underwear for the people in the bunker near the launch pad?

They earned their pay that day...

Here is the story about this failed launch, it was a Delta II on January 17, 1997. The blast could be felt over 25 miles away:

During the video, you can easily see that one of the boosters is not putting out anything, while all of the other ones are firing.......

Did anybody check out the other videos on this page - The fishing show bloopers is a hoot!

That explosion was intense. Those on the ground must have thought it was the Apocalypse or something.

That fishing bloopers video was quite funny. I liked the part when his trolling motor came off the mount while still running. That would sure be the catch of the day!

Did anyone see the Lego beer song video? Quite funny.
