Residents in Tampa Bay, Florida were confounded after seeing what seemed to be an explosion in the sky around Thursday's sunset.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.

Orlando and Miami International Airports, among others, are experiencing ground stoppages due to the failed test flight of SpaceX's Starship.
