In a series of shocking events, the global community witnessed a SpaceX rocket explosion, a potential data breach at Trump Mobile, and a massive evacuation in California due to a chemical tank leak.

Elon Musk's SpaceX successfully launched its Starship V3 rocket on a test flight, which ended with the rocket exploding in the Indian Ocean as planned. The launch was initially delayed due to a malfunctioning hydraulic pin in the launch tower.

Meanwhile, Trump Mobile, a phone company launched by Donald Trump's family business, is investigating a potential security flaw on its website that may have exposed the personal details of an estimated 27,000 people who sought to buy a gold-colored smartphone.

In California, over 40,000 people were evacuated after a toxic chemical started to leak from a tank at an aerospace manufacturing facility in southern California. The tank contains an estimated 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate, a highly volatile and flammable substance.
