There were dramatic scenes across some Caribbean countries including Jamaica on Thursday night after a SpaceX Starship rocket which exploded less than 10 minutes after its launch from Texas, US, showered debris over the Caribbean and western Atlantic.
The explosion was caught on camera from a catamaran anchored off Hog Cay in the Bahamas.
One X user posted footage of what looked like a ball of smoke overhead in Boynton Beach, Florida, while others in Jamaica and Turks and Caicos captured fiery streaks of debris flying across the sky.
SpaceX said it was in communication with the FAA over any needed flight diversions, but there were no immediate reports of issues during the moments after contact was lost with the Starship.
Dozens of flights appeared to have been diverted and airports from Orlando south through West Palm Beach and Miami in Florida reported delays associated with the event.
