Reminds me of last year, when images emerged of a "long march" rocket crashing a couple of hundrer meters from a village, releasing a decidedly not-healthy-looking red smoke cloud (after the initial fireball).

It's for sure not healthy - the old Long March rockets, like the one in question, use hypergolic propellants, which while having the nice features of igniting on contact & being room temperature storeable in liquid form, are unfortunately highly toxic and carcinogenic.
