SpaceX has finally revealed what caused one of the company's Falcon 9 rockets to explode on Brother in law Who Gave His Sister in law a Little Sex Educationthe launch pad on Sept. 1, 2016, also destroying Israel's Amos 6 communications satellite that the rocket was taking into orbit.

According to SpaceX's report, the conclusion reached was:
...one of the three composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) inside the second stage liquid oxygen (LOX) tank failed. Specifically, the investigation team concluded the failure was likely due to the accumulation of oxygen between the COPV liner and overwrap in a void or a buckle in the liner, leading to ignition and the subsequent failure of the COPV.
A Falcon 9 rocket uses those COPVs to store cold helium to maintain tank pressure. COPVs recovered at the explosion site showed buckles between the aluminum inner liner and carbon overwrap each COPV has.
Investigators believe that liquid oxygen pooled here and was trapped when the COPVs were pressurized, making it more likely for friction to ignite the trapped oxygen. Additionally, investigators believe that when that cold helium was loaded, its temperature was cold enough to create solid oxygen, making ignition more likely.
