Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.
Absolutely bonkers, they were testing that thing so close to population. There are residential areas within about 1km/mile from the test site. In one of the videos, it sounds like the blast wave destroyed some window. So, even if that thing would have only exploded during the test, it would have caused harm in those areas. Luckily, it landed on an empty area.
The CCP has been dropping booster stages into populated areas for decades. It’s nothing new. It’s effectively standard practice for them. Also, note that none of what I said disagrees with the fact that most other nations consider this sort of thing to be wildly dangerous.

I could never figure out why they do it. You want to be far south and have an open ocean to the east of the launch site.
Why are they not launching from Hainan or somewhere on the south coast, west of Hong Kong?
