US rocket fails after launch, payload of Amazon internet satellites destroyed
BROWNSVILLE, Nov 15 (Reuters) - A Vulcan rocket owned by United Launch Alliance, the joint venture of Boeing BA.N and Lockheed Martin LMT.N, failed on Sunday shortly after launch from Florida while carrying 40 satellites for Amazon's AMZN.O Leo broadband internet unit.
