LOL

Watch the link that Torplexed posted... at 00:18 in it looks like you can see a self destruct explosion.

It looks hella big but I wonder why no noise was reported.

Looks like a new issue from global warming. What has Al Gore said? Does he have a book out yet? Looks like a missle doing loops.

The Russians don't have a monopoly on missile failures... this was the first underwater launch of the Trident II SLBM:

It'd be interesting to know what was going through the photographers mind while taking that picture. He realy had a front row seat. Damned good picture.

Something like "RUUUN!!!", maybe.

Don't think I'd feel at ease with a big, fire spewing missile spiraling out of control within sight of me.

Never mind the photographer! I reckon the CO or XO at the 'scope would have been in full brown trouser mode when that spiraled around again

When good launches go bad:




(it says Trident II but I'm pretty darn sure it's actually a Russian SLBM)

He was probably thinking "thank god for telephoto lenses" the boat on the other hand was most likely in oh **** mode...

If you look closely at the photo it almost looks like the missle did a sort of 'skip' off the water at least once.
