On July 2, 2013, Russia was preparing to launch Proton-M with 3 Uragan satellites to make up its own GPS network, GLONASS, but things didn't go as well as the comrades expected.
Immediately upon takeoff, the 58-meter-high vehicle did not rise as it should and began to have problems maintaining balance, with the engines trying to correct the deviation at all costs, with major changes in the trajectory that must have left the mission team with a chill down your spine.
The launch was so wrong that the rocket ended up being parallel to the ground with the thrusters at maximum and spinning completely out of control.
As the speed increased, the vehicle began to point downwards and fall apart due to the great aerodynamic efforts, meanwhile, the engines began to catch fire and spread orange smoke in all directions until finally crashing to the ground in a gigantic ball of fire.
Driven by hypergolic propellants such as hydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide, this mixture is highly toxic and can cause irreversible damage, including death, if contacted or inhaled.
Investigations showed that the angular velocity sensors were installed inverted, which made the rocket crazier than Batman, causing rapid unscheduled disassembly and enormous damage to Russia.
