This is a link post When A Rocket Ship Explodes, And Everybody Still Wants To Fly..
Remember the Antares Rocket launch fail? Here's the cameras from the launch pad.

When watching, think of the camera men's families.

This is a normal post The cameramen had to go sweep up the mess
Then the wives had to clean the stained uniforms.

Meaning the children didn't get to go to the park.

Will that do?

This is a normal post Yes.
I'd like to see the remote cameras where the scientists that spent years building, and $Millions building it, watch it. I wonder what they do next. Pub?

This is a normal post No
The new version of Gogglebox is real people watching and commenting on Gogglebox. I'm really surprised they haven't done this yet.

This is a normal post The one last month?
"no injuries from the explosion itself"

and

"To guard against the dangers of a failed launch the Nasa facility maintains a hazard area of about 1,400 square miles around the site"

Both from: www.theguardian.com/science/2014/oct/28/antares-rocket-explodes-nasa-launch-pad-orbital-science

Unless your referring to a different Antares rocket fail, no-one was injured, and the cameras would have been remote as point out^

This is a normal post Wow, how unlucky is that? Every time they tried to launch one it blew up at exactly the same time. Must be a design flaw.
