Very good report. You did your research. I worked for McDonnell Douglas Delta program back in 1997. It was a sad day. Steely eyed missile men get misty eyed when one of their birds fail. Funny story; Once at Vandenberg one of the solid boosters was out of storage and sitting outside to get some testing. People were standing around near the nozzle. A plastic protective cap on the nozzle popped off with a good loud pop sound. I think the people standing by the nozzle had to go clean their shorts after that. I assume the air heated up in the nozzle expanded enough to pop the cover off.

Things going pop unexpectedly does tend to get peoples attention fairly quickly. Having worked in the hazardous chemical industry i worked with differential thermal analysis equipment. Take 10 grams of the waste stream which is potentially going to be distilled for solvent recovery and put it through a heating cycle to see if its safe to process. Only had one sample which suffered a thermal runaway reaction under heating, it did go pop, well it was more of a bang. Better to test it with a few millilitres of sample than 18000 litres in the still. I should add no damage or injury was caused by the event, the testing equipment was very sturdy and was probably built to withstand worse samples, the equipment was originally owned by ICI.

I worked on the upgrade of Delta RS-27 engine to Delta II back in '87. I discovered a flaw in the engine analysis, in that they had failed to perform a fracture analysis on the turbopump main shaft. They had done a long duration durability analysis but that was insufficient for the cryogenic conditions to which the shaft was subject. They knew they had a flaw in the engine as they were losing one flight in 23 and half of those were due to engines going "boom", but they had not been able to find the cause. After I pointed out the flaw, they changed the design and the reliability doubled.

My friend Marc was a member of the launch team in the blockhouse during this event. He manned the instrumentation bay and after the explosion they noticed that noxious fumes were leaking in through the cable conduits. They rammed rags, paper and their shirts into the conduits to block the fumes. Marc's car was one of the severely damaged. Scott, contact me if you do a report on the Delta 3000 #134 failure of Sept. 13, 1977. I was a solid propellant consultant for the McDonnell Douglas failure review team. That failure resulted in a major change in solid propellant formulation.

That had me imagining how whoever it was stuck lugging those sandbags in the Florida sun must have been complaining to themself about all that work when it was never going to matter, because what were the chances of a direct impact from something?

"Bernard recounted that his insurance adjuster was initially skeptical when he reported the cause of damage as a collision with a rocket. But he was convinced after Bernard told him to turn on the television, which was covering the event right then."

They probably mounted the guidance sensors upside down or some other stupid thing we used to do when we didn't know better. The best failure has got to go to Wernher Von Braun when he built his rocket with the engine at the top because he thought it would create a "pendulum" (I believe) and that it would stabilize itself. Cool to think that same man designed what would ultimately become the Saturn V which took us to the moon. I guess that's the thing with smart people.

My father was in the blockhouse during this launch/failure...he was a propulsion engineer (liquid engine) for Boeing/McDonnell Douglas/Douglas Co. since 1963. As the rockets grew larger and more powerful over the years, he had said that if they lost one on the pad it would obliterate the blockhouse...needless to say, the explosion at roughly 1/4 mile off the pad knocked him out of his chair. They were stuck in the blockhouse for over an hour before being evacuated. His truck was lightly damaged, but the vehicle parked behind his burned to the ground. He was close to retiring at the time, but stayed on until the next successful launch (he didn't want to leave until they had a good launch). He then retired, but contracted back for the (ill fated) Delta III and early Delta IV. He was a very intelligent and well respected engineer, but extremely modest. His passion for the space program was unwavering, and inspired me to join the space program myself (Space Shuttle).

Exactly, reading ignition was quite interesting. While figuring out which liquid propellants worked well (and met the required freezing point specifications) quite a few explosive fuels/oxidisers were invented. And when it wasn't prone to explosions there'd often be plenty of other "minor" issues like acid eating through the storage vessels, being a toxic fluid or better releasing nice toxic vapours for researchers to breathe in. I think I lost count halfway in the book of how many serious lab explosions/fires the author listed.

I remember that day well and so glad the blockhouse kept us alive. It got a little frightening when we could see the smoke layer thickening above our heads. I lost my vehicle too. It wasn't until later in the afternoon that I realized I needed to find a way home. Quite a day. Keep up the fine work.

I remember I watched a video of one of the control room guys calling a car insurance company and trying to explain the operator what happened to his car.

This seems familiar. Didn't the Apollo 13 malfunction start when a sensor in an oxygen tank was tested to beyond its specification? The sensor passed the test and appeared undamaged, but was actually damaged in a way that caused the explosion in-flight. Stress testing is not always a great idea.

Thank you Scott. The latest explosion was the Crew Dragon one. What a pity. Things are going so slow and now they will get even slower with more delays and postponing the future manned flights. Do you thing there is a real chance of watching any manned flight this year? You fly safe too.

The destruct signal from the blockhouse would be Command Destruct. Self Destruct (internal failure) and Auto Destruct (from the flight termination safety chain) are different events. Rocket staging temporarily inhibits Auto Destruct, for obvious reasons.

Can't wait for a video (maybe?) on the spectacular proton rocket crash. It is perhaps the only crash that can give this firework display a run for it's money!

I remember this one. I was working for Lockheed Martin on the Atlas III program and we were on a teleconference with the Atlas facility at the Cape. We heard it over the teleconference and someone there said sounds like there was a failure.

Add more boosters. Fly again. Rinse and repeat until it works.
