SpaceX Rocket Debris Affects Turks and Caicos

A SpaceX Starship rocket experienced a catastrophic failure shortly after its launch from Texas on Thursday, resulting in debris falling over the Turks and Caicos Islands. The rocket's engines shut down sequentially during ascent, leading to an explosion that sent fiery debris visible across the Caribbean. Although no injuries have been reported, the incident prompted the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ground Starship flights and initiate an investigation into the mishap, while local authorities managed flight diversions to ensure safety. Videos captured by witnesses show glowing debris streaking across the sky, with some fragments reportedly landing in areas around the islands. The FAA is collaborating with SpaceX and local officials to assess property damage and ensure public safety amid growing concerns about the implications of commercial space activities. As investigations proceed, SpaceX has advised the public to avoid handling any debris and report findings to authorities.
