Atlas missile 51D's launch, test number 775 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Atlas missile 51D's launch, test number 775 at Cape Canaveral, Florida. View of Atlas 51D take off from launch pad. Large explosion soon after few seconds of its launch. (Note: This missile suffered combustion instability in one engine. The Range Safety officer sent the destruct command only a few seconds after launch and it fell back through the launch stand and exploded. LC-13 took extensive damage and was out of use for six months.)

Ill-fated launch of Titan missile C-4 , in the 9th Titan I launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida

Views of what appears to be a smooth launching of a Titan missile. The service structure erector is released and the missile takes off. The camera tracks it as it moves ever higher, with rocket motors burning smoothly. As its image begins to get quite small in the distance, at TC:01:26, the missile begins failing, and explodes in a huge fireball. (Note: This was Missile C-4, the ninth Titan I launch and the second Lot C missile. The guidance compartment collapsed from aerodynamic stress 52 seconds into launch, causing missile pitch down followed by Range Safety destruct. The falling object is the second stage, which separated intact and inadvertently began firing. With no attitude control, it tumbled end over end until shutting down from propellant starvation and impacting the ocean several miles downrange.)

Missile Atlas 52D launches from ground coffin launcher and explodes during the flight.

Missile Atlas 52D Test code named Chain Smoke ready for launch by the Strategic Air Command (SAC) from pad 576 B-3 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California The missile takes off and begins its flight upward. At TC:01:49 some white smoke emanates from the missile and it is seen to be burning. A moment later it explodes in a huge fireball with pieces ejected trailing white smoke. The camera tracks the largest piece as it falls and crashes behind a ridge at the shoreline (likely into the water). Various vehicles are seen along fence line at secure area set back from the shoreline. (Note: The booster gas generator experienced a leak which resulted in high thrust section temperatures and eventual propulsion system failure. The sustainer and verniers shut down 49 seconds into launch, followed by the booster engines at 68 seconds. The missile destroyed itself at 72 seconds.)
