This has to be one of the most intensely emotional videos I've seen in a long while. Taken from three different angles by a hobbyist group, the rocket explodes 29 seconds after lift-off when it falls back to earth. I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by the death (not directly recorded) that occured as a result of the explosion, but I felt there was ample merit for the submission.

From wikipedia:

A long string of successful Soyuz launches was broken on October 15, 2002 when the unmanned Soyuz U launch of the Photon-M satellite from Plesetsk fell back near the launch pad and exploded 29 seconds after lift-off. One person was killed and eight injured.

From Youtube:

A Russian Soyuz rocket carrying a Foton M-1 satellite has a total failure during launch and collides into the Earth with a large explosion. Caught on camera by multiple people from different angles by a hobby or fan group (ESA Team). One person was killed and 8 were injured, they were workers for the project and are not seen on camera.
