Elon Musk‘s SpaceX Starship prototype exploded in the air, merely minutes after taking off for his seventh test flight, disrupting air traffic and forcing “at least” 20 commercial flights to alter course in order to avoid fallen debris from the destroyed rocket.

The "rapid unscheduled disassembly" was likely caused by a propellant leak, Elon Musk said, and was captured on video by spectators on the ground.
