Comments
The failure occurred immediately after ignition. The propellant continued burning inside of motor tube setting motor tube on fire. Enough thrust was produced to launch the rocket off of the rod but to no more than 10-15 ft altitude. Body tube was burning through before the rocket hit the ground.
