SpaceX Explosion CAUGHT ON TAPE

Dramatic footage of the moment that a SpaceX rocket exploded at a launchpad in Florida has surfaced.

The video, recorded by USLaunchReport and provided to ABC News, shows the doomed SpaceX Falcon rocket during the ill-fated fueling process.

All appears normal with the rocket, upright and connected to various ground infrastructure, before an explosion flashes from the top third of the rocket, sending a ball of fire outward and raining flames onto the tarmac.
