Space junk getting more stupid....

“We regret we dropped a load of our crap in your yard, sent a ballon into the high tension lines and might have burned down a large part of Michigan.”

Good point, its just Michigan. No big deal.
 
I have no trouble with silly and fun things like this. I do have a problem that it created a hazard due to bad engineering on, I guess, Samsung Europe's part.
 
One of my coworkers launched a large rocket dubbed "The Wrath of Allah." The video (both from the ground and onboard) was pretty amusing. He was lucky he had the guidance pretty good as the thing crashed back into the same field he launched it from. It was big enough to have done some damage if it had struck something.
 
A long time ago in a galaxy far away; there was a packing plant across the Red Cedar river from a corn plant.

Maintenance departments of both plants were rivals, for unknown reasons.

Maintenance department at the pack had built a trough from old conveyor bottoms mounted at an angle deemed to be "close enough for gubmint work." Said trough was aimed at the corn plant. An oxygen bottle (from a "gas wrench) projectile was put in place on the trough.

A suitable maul was located, and the burliest mechanic was selected as the ignition wielder. The intent being to quickly and forcibly knock the valve off the projectile, forcing the escaping gas to propel the crudely aimed projectile over the river to the corn plant.

Fortunately, the terrorists at the pack were caught just before launch... And the barrage of mortar was never to be.

There are pictures, I have seen them.
