A video of the alleged incident showing the Chinese rocket reportedly taking off and crashing into a mountain has also gone viral on social media. The viral clip shows the rocket accidentally taking off during a static test. According to reports, the rocket belonged to Beijing Tianbing Technology Co., also known as Space Pioneer.

Space Pioneer Was Targeting Orbital Launch in the Coming Months
Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China's Space Pioneer. That's catastrophic, not static. Firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months. https://t.co/BY9MgJeE7A pic.twitter.com/L6ronwLW1N
