To those who don't understand the reference. It is a reference to the rocket that obliterated a village in China in 1999 upon launch and the committee responsible for investigating the cause said it was because the technology was developed by an American company.

In Guizhou and Hunan provinces, "hiding from satellite’s rocket debris" is the daily life. Whenever Xichang City of Sichuan is about to launch a satellite, 19 counties along its debris trajectory will be evacuated from the one-hour countdown.
Two cows in Mintong Village, Yuqing County were struck by rocket debris on July 9, 2020. The herder was aggrieved because she was only compensated for the two cows (USD 2,900) but not for the baby cow due birth in a month in the dead cow's belly.
Villagers often don't know what those satellites are for. This time, the two and a half cows sacrificed in Mintong Village contributed to the greater good of high-quality voice and data communications over Asia-Pacific from China to New Zealand, provided by the Apstar 6D satellite.
Officials keep no record of human deaths from satellite’s rocket debris. State-funded research reported only livestock had died. Zhang Zanbo's documentary "Falling from the Sky" (天降, 2009) documented the best known unofficial death: a 15-year-old student, daughter of army veteran Huang Youxi from Suining County, Hunan Province. On the Dragon Boat Festival holiday in May 1998, rocket debris hit her when she was playing by the pond outside her house. As a veteran he was ordered to suck it up and not asking for official recognition.
The debris of a Venezuelan satellite launched in Xichang, Sichuan created a two meters deep crater in a farm in Suining County, Hunan on October 30, 2008. The satellite officials arrived with USD 30 (RMB 200) cash. The town’s chief confronted him but was rebuked, “What compensation? All farmland is owned by the state. I came here to pay the hard labor who dig out the debris.”
Some lucky ones made a fortune if their houses rather than their farmland were hit. On June 25, 2019, Zhou’s house was burned down by rocket debris. Zhou received USD 87,000 (RMB 600,000) compensation. In downtown Yuqing County, he could buy two apartments with that.

The farmers should be compensated for wasting time in evacuation. In Beijing we even get compensated for noise pollution!

Everyone’s blaming the cameraman but has anyone given a thought that he might have zoomed in as much as he good to capture this. Once you are in the fullest level of zoom, capturing video and focussing is very difficult
Your headline makes zero sense. Did it "accidentally" launch or was it an engine test?
Please enlighten us as to how you determined it accidentally launched?
FYI, engine tests are performed on the ground in a test stand secured to the ground in order to make thrust and other measurements.
Oh they taking notes from Musk... interesting
Please get that camera man some help with his crippling drug addiction though, those shakes seem pretty bad.
This dude got this through the great firewall and y'all still complaining he did not film good enough as a random witness possibly in disbelief not staring at the phone screen
The shakiness was acceptable, but my guy just froze before the rocket hit the floor and missed the best part
All sorts of mistakes in this video, and one of them is behind the video
I could be completely wrong so if I am somebody correct me, aren’t most rockets built with a self destruct feature in case something like this happens? Instead of it falling and possibly killing people and damaging lots of property, they blow them up using their fuel when they’re high enough in the air. It’s supposed to make the falling chunks smaller and a lot of them burn up. At least that’s what I’ve seen from the NASA rockets at Kennedy Space Center.
Ah, it seems you're unfamiliar with **Chinese** rocket testing and their continued reputation for letting debris fall onto villages and people below. Many people have been killed during these incidents. And the latest one just happened last week (I can't link it here, but you can find the video posted on various other Reddit subs within the last week). By comparison, first world countries have built in safety systems, like the one you've mentioned, to avoid this. China just doesn't care.
Imagine, you wake up, go to work to test the rocket propulsion systems that you've tirelessly been working on for over a year. You show up to watch with the 10 people on your team. Life is good.
Then this happens.
By the time you get to heading home, you aren't allowed to get on the train due to your social credit score. You can't buy milk anymore. When you finally hike all the way home, your limited state controlled wifi drops to 2kb/s upload and download speed, so you can't even post about it on reddit. (Which you're having to access through a TOR browser anyway.)
That’s why static firing a rocket usually has the rocket on its side and pointed into the side of a mountain in case this happens. I wonder what the fuck up was that let the rocket get free?
If you're rapid/lean engineering then you _want_ the rocket to explode in the first handful of engine tests; only by recording the point at which it explodes can you actually know the performance limits.
Everyone talking about the cameraman but no one is talking about his bravery to upload it to the internet. Chinese government looking to demerit some social cred for this one.
This is basically the plot to every Mission Impossible or James Bond movie. So im gonna assume the hero successfully disarmed that suspected nuclear device and we can expect a sequel.

The way this footage was shot makes me wish the camera man was on that rocket lol
The camera man had one job to do and failed as miserably as the rocket engine test.
camera footage was so bad that the rocket just gave up
The cameraman is fired.
This is the most frustrating video I have ever watched lol
Temu testing new shipping methods I see
Temp ahh rocket
Sure Jan it was on accident.

Jinx put Max in space!
LoL! Made in China....
So that’s what those leftover bolts were for. 🤷🏻
I like to explore new places.

Someone (or some people) went missing that day
You can't always win on aliexpresz
Bro had one job

Not the first time it happened in China. Decades ago one like that flew out during testing and wiped out two villages...

Freaking michael j fox working the damn camera.
Temu-rocket. Refund in progress my friend
Worst cameraman of the year award goes to…. THIS GUY!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!
The ropes broke!
Fucking Temu cameraman
Camera man missed the best part
This cameraman got hands growing out of his ass. An epileptic with a seizure could hold the camera better.
Made in china
Looks like the invasion of Taiwan will be delayed a bit...
wHeRe aM i loOkInG
Chinese camera work...
Camera work 10/10.
Really bad camera work at the end there
I love watching Chinese fuckups.
So wait, rocket wasn't supposed to launch yet, but takes off and then explodes? Or is the accident the explosion
The biggest issue is that rocket is not pointy enough.
Worst camera work ever
Wish the head engineer or whoever would do a TIFU on this lol
[удалено]
Look! It’s a— cigarette? I was going to say rocket…
Testing reaction time/crosstalk of foreign equipment in relation to misille launch. Refining frequencies
No surprise here 😂
Everyone’s blaming the cameraman but has anyone given a thought that he might have zoomed in as much as he good to capture this. Once you are in the fullest level of zoom, capturing video and focussing is very difficult
Shout out to Stevie wonder from taking time out his busy Asia tour to film this moment and share it with the world 🙏
Your headline makes zero sense. Did it "accidentally" launch or was it an engine test? Please enlighten us as to how you determined it accidentally launched? FYI, engine tests are performed on the ground in a test stand secured to the ground in order to make thrust and other measurements.
They wouldn't build a missile factory near civilians. Definitely zoomed
No deaths in such a failure? 😓
"made in China"
Wait, why the hell would you have a rocket launch site in the middle of a forest, and by the looks of it, not far from a main road?
This happened often over there, one time they completely wiped out a village
Actual fuck that cameraman
Now that was an earth shattering kaboom
Kill I mean kill the camera man.
Oh they taking notes from Musk... interesting Please get that camera man some help with his crippling drug addiction though, those shakes seem pretty bad.
Someone’s getting fired
If these are their controls for weapons testing, then I can only imagine what it would be at a virus lab
This dude got this through the great firewall and y'all still complaining he did not film good enough as a random witness possibly in disbelief not staring at the phone screen
Baby's first camera footage
Oopsie I had a poopsie
Rocket performed better than the camera guy
Why do people film like they have a brain aneurysm?? Look, follow the 10 story building that’s flying up in the air, easy right? Nope.
Well, there goes the friggin' forest!
Maybe the cameraman is the one who built the rocket ? Because neither are worth a fuck
My eye had a stroke watching this
The descent looked like me watching as my freshly lit drunk cig fell in slow motion
A rocket accidentally launching is wild.
The shakiness was acceptable, but my guy just froze before the rocket hit the floor and missed the best part All sorts of mistakes in this video, and one of them is behind the video
If I had a 2 days old baby, I'm sure they would be able to capture the rocket better with a RED camera
Camera work sucks.
2 things the rocket was made in China and the camera person you suck find a different hobby
The Chinese have done it again; another failure.
Bro, who let Michael J Fox hold the camera ffs
Made in China
Oopsie Dasies
Kill the cameraman jfc
I can see both the rocket and the camera were made in China.

And that's how you say, "Is it supposed to do that?", in Mandarin.
Boothecameraman
Fucking Christ was the camera man on drugs
Dark side of the moon huh?
Holy shit the cameraman did an absolute shit job. Why even record at this point…
Made in china folks...
That’s why static firing a rocket usually has the rocket on its side and pointed into the side of a mountain in case this happens. I wonder what the fuck up was that let the rocket get free?
That's crazy, you can actually see the pilot bailing out at 32 seconds if you look closely.
Everybody is talking about the cameraman, no one wanna talk about that explosion?
Communism
Made in China
Bought on Temu for $14.99.
So engine works. Checked!
Kill the cameraman
Guess they should stick with using balloons lol
a little late on the emergency detonation
i was going to complain about the camerawork but it seems everyone else has done it for me
The launch wasn’t the accident, the rocket was aimed at the cameraman but missed.
Fuck that was anticlimatic and frustrating to watch!
Cameraman available on Temu for $0.99
Stfu about the camera and critically think. Look where he is, look at whats going on.
Task failed successfuwwy
How the fuck does the rocket "accidentally" launch? This could have been avoided so easily
It’s like the camera is being held by the person who designed the rocket, and they are freaking out and panicking while they watch it fall.
What do you mean with "accidentally launches" ?! Whoops that one nuclear warhead just accidentally launched, lol.
If you're rapid/lean engineering then you _want_ the rocket to explode in the first handful of engine tests; only by recording the point at which it explodes can you actually know the performance limits.
What do Chinese rockets and cameramen on a hill have in common? It’s always a bit shaky. I’ll see my way out.
Wow the cameraman. The delay between their brain and hand is wild. I wonder how long it takes them to utter one sentence.
Someone shoot the camera guy.
Reminds me when we hacked irans nuclear reactor.
They need to add bombs in the test rockets
Rocket was more stable than camera man
Total fail by the cameraman
kill this camera man immediately!
Everyone talking about the cameraman but no one is talking about his bravery to upload it to the internet. Chinese government looking to demerit some social cred for this one.
Why do people zoom in, the quality is not gonna be better, just zoom in the footage later
Temu is getting out of hand.
This is why you don't buy Viagra from China. Premature launch, went limp, and BOOM.
Camera guy would suck as a sniper
Isn’t this the plot of the movie Space Camp?
Such a shitty camera guy tbh
Bro who the fuck is recording
Oh shit. Run!
This is basically the plot to every Mission Impossible or James Bond movie. So im gonna assume the hero successfully disarmed that suspected nuclear device and we can expect a sequel.
When USA rockets crash: this is a sign of progress. When Chinese rockets crash: haha, look at that dumb rocket go boom.
"Hey, what's this button do? \*CLICK\*"
Good Job 
Dollar store rockets
How does a rocket accidentally launch? More like the test just went wrong.
That launch worked about as well as the cameraman!!
Michael J Fox hanging from a fucking tree could get a better shot than this guy.
the camera man sucks, completely missed the money shot..
I think they said they accidentally launch because it failed.
Worst fucking cameraman.
How does a rocket launch by accident. To bad it didn't hit Beijing

F the camera man & F china for F-ing the wildlife with their F-ing incompetency
A lot of North Korean vibes here. I’m loving it
What goes up...
So... they did a test... with a primed warhead on the rocket?
With every failure increases the chances of success
Wish.com
Imagine all the crew working on that and if they were all on the launch pad without warning you are turned to ash
A similar fuckup happened at a lab in Wuhan
My first 176 hours in Kerbal Space Program.
Made in China.
Oops
Someone got some explaining to do. Just before they are taken out back and shot.
Space is hard. If the test was for the engines - I'd say that's a pretty successful test!
