Titan Rocket Explodes During Test Flight at Cape Canaveral
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP a Titan missile exploded in a roaring inferno as it lifted off on a critical test. The 98 foot intercontinental range rocket burned fuel and the service tower was left a blackened ruin. None of the 600 launch crew aboard the block house was hurt. The blast echoed the August 14 accident blamed on a faulty release mechanism. The launch aimed to ignite the Titan's second stage for its first in flight test. If successful it would have been the most powerful US rocket engine fired in flight carrying a dummy warhead to a 2000 mile ocean target. No date for a new attempt was given.
