	This video of a ground test shows what happens when a blade departs a spinning jet engine. Aviation regulation requires that the blade is contained within the engine, thus avoiding the blade to be thrown through the plane fuselage killing passengers or damaging the plane’s vital functions.

	On January 30, 2007, the Sea Launch Zenit-3SL rocket carrying NSS-8 and 500 tons of fuel exploded on launch, destroying the sophisticated telecommunications satellite payload, and damaging the launch pad. Since the launch pad platform is vacated by all engineers during the automated launch process, there were no injuries.

On June 4th, 1996, Ariane 5 exploded at an altitude of 4000 meters (13 000 feet), while it was performing its first flight. The cause of the failure is the total loss of guidance and altitude data 37 seconds after the ignition sequence of the main engine (30 seconds after lift-off). This loss of data is due to errors during the specification and design of the inertial reference system. Nozzles received the order of an important correction of the trajectory. Therefore, the rocket turned violently and disintegrated because of the high aerodynamic loads. Self destruction has been activated immediately after the beginning of the disintegration.
