Ship 36 experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly on the pad during a static test.

It's June 29 launch date appears questionable.

It's almost like 1959 all over again, in a hurry to catch up, surface-to-surface launch.

Are you referring to the Nedelin Catastrophe?

That was in 1960 but close enough. The Soviets were rushing development of an ICBM and somehow, the second stage ignited while sitting atop the fully-fueled first stage. The resultant fireball killed anywhere from 60 to 150 people - most of them absolutely incinerated. Nothing left but ash and fumes. It was the worst disaster in aerospace history.

This might have matched it if there were people on site but SpaceX had the sense to keep them away.
