Story said no injuries, and if it was just a Facebook satellite, I'd agree with you.
But, it was part of their initiative to connect remote regions to the Internet.

It would have allowed people all over most of Africa and the middle East, esp sub Saharan Africa to get online via satellite.

The company says an “anomaly” during the static fire test destroyed the rocket and an Israeli communications satellite it had been due to carry into space at the weekend.
