1996

The village is pretty much gone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZTFgZ9zl74

I'm referring to a different Chinese launch failure in 1996.

There is some VHS footage on YouTube surreptitiously shot by Americans on-site supporting the payload which became a guerrilla documentary.

The village was annihilated but the official number from the CCP was 6 dead.

6.

Not this one. An old one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_708

The Chinese government say very few were killed. But personally, my position is that the guys who routinely publish their embarrassing-seeming failures are quite believable (the US publishes that their planes fall off their carriers) and those who say they're perfect are probably lying. So I don't believe their numbers.
