The US Air Force just hit self-destruct on a multimillion-dollar missile after a testing 'anomaly' -- here's what might have gone wrong

    The US Air Force terminated an intercontinental ballistic missile over the Pacific Ocean during an unsuccessful flight test Tuesday.
    The missile was destroyed because an "anomaly was going to create an unsafe flight condition," according to the head of US Strategic Command.
    The failure was characterized as a "rare thing in the missile business."

I had a co-worker that worked in range safety for the Atlas-Centaur missile.  They had to destroy many missiles during launch. He had told me that to help determine what was failing during launch, they installed several cameras inside the missile. He said that cameras showed during flight many loose objects. Tools, lunch bags, all kinda stuff. Well that's what he said.
