Home made rocket launch goes afowl to the suprise of the host of the show
Team builds a rocket but the rocket goes off prematurely and ends up injuring some of the participants.

Can you post a link that works? Maybe it's just the windows format. Firefox on this MacBook Core 2 Duo with 2GB RAM can't play it.

It won't run on my XP machine either.

Further, I take issue with the title of this thread-from the description, it's not the building that went wrong, but the launch...

Added...

Here's the source video. It IS a WMV, but it runs fine. The problem is the site.

And obviously the problem was to do with how they were erecting the rocket for launch, NOT how it was built. Not a "funny" video (to me), just odd.

But at least there's a girl in a bikini who wants to give me a loan.
