"a rapid unscheduled disassembly" - what a phrase for an explosion

• dzader 3y ago
  generic term - lot of time aerodynamic forces rip the vehicle apart and isn't an "explosion"

    Well, it wasn’t disassembled either. That implies you can reassemble it. This just a funny phrase designed to cover an embarrassing situation. SpaceX just farted in an elevator.

      They didn't fart in the elevator, the pressure change caused by rapid elevation gain caused an unexpected gas vent event
