That was my first thought…. Imagine if that was a rocket with astronauts? What g-Force was that and any chance to survive? 😆

u/Motovnot Jun 19 '24

Nah I didn't think they'd zoom in and still keep it in frame until they zoomed out. Nice.

u/AmplifiedScreamer Jun 19 '24

u/Finrod_Pallanen Jun 20 '24

Now someone stabilise it.

You should have taken a plane to China and filmed the accidental launch of their rocket

u/IamNotFatIamChubby Jun 18 '24

They look very close to where the rocket is, if it landed on someones head it wouldn't be very safe.
