US aviation authorities temporarily grounded flights at several Florida airports due to debris concerns following SpaceX's Starship launch failure. After the rocket experienced a 'rapid unscheduled disassembly' shortly after liftoff, the FAA reported flight delays in and out of Orlando and Miami airports. SpaceX initiated pre-planned response protocols while investigating the cause of the failure. This incident follows a prior launch mishap in January that also led to FAA airport closures due to risk of falling debris, raising ongoing concerns about rocket launch safety.
A ground stop was temporarily in effect for airports in Orlando and Miami after the failed launch over the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX confirmed that the ship had suffered 'a rapid unscheduled disassembly' during its ascent into space, and lost contact with the ground.
