The rocket was visible in the southern sky around 6:40, clearly spiraling out of control.  Evidently they got quite a show in the Bahamas as the debris rained down.

"energetic event"

"rapid unscheduled disassembly"

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
