FEB 16196321:45:00 UTC

Design flaw caused the silo umbilicals to rip wiring out of the missile at liftoff, cutting power to the guidance system and causing complete loss of control. The malfunction prevented the range safety destruct charges from working, but the backup destruct system activated at T+30 seconds. "Awful Tired"
