Video of the day -- the Xichang disaster
In 1996, a rocket malfunctioned at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China. The regime claimed there were only six deaths, but the real toll was probably far worse.

About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Well, this is quite creepy—especially as today’s news seems to be revealing turmoil in various world hot spots. Do you mind my asking if you just came across it, Infidel? Or were you searching for something else and this popped up? A possible vanished village! And life goes on…What village?
This video just came up on YouTube. I follow information about China quite a lot, so YouTube tends to show me a lot of videos about it.
I haven't seen the name of the village given anywhere. This article has more information about the disaster. Both the incompetence involved and the effort to cover things up afterwards are pretty typical for China.
