Or, in astrophysical terms, "The vehicle experienced an anomaly on ascent."

In a book I recently read about Elon Musk they call this type of event "rapid and unscheduled disassembly."

In the words of my old rocket propulsion professor (Must be read in a heavy Ukranian accent.)

RRrocket engineering is.... If you do rrright, you get rrrrocket. If you do wrrrong, you get bomb.

Just noticed that the SpaceX website specifies the launch location as "Cape Canaveral, Florida, Earth."

I love things like that.

To me, it shakes people's perspective in a beneficial way.
