Dozens of Central Texas residents file suit against SpaceX alleging ‘terrestrial bombardment’ resulting in property damage
77 Central Texas residents are suing SpaceX, alleging that the company's rocket testing has caused property damage due to 'terrestrial bombardment'. The plaintiffs are seeking over $1 million in damages for alleged gross negligence and trespass.
Almost 80 Central Texas residents have filed a lawsuit against SpaceX, claiming their homes were damaged by the company's rocket testing. The 77 plaintiffs, from McGregor, Moody, Crawford, and Oglesby, are seeking over $1 million in damages. The lawsuit alleges that SpaceX's regular rocket testing causes massive airborne acoustic pressure waves and ground-borne seismic shockwaves, resulting in property damage. The plaintiffs' homes are said to be suffering from fractured foundations, differential settlement, and compromised structural integrity. The SpaceX facility in McGregor is a 4,000-acre industrial complex where the company manufactures and tests its rocket engines. The lawsuit claims that the Raptor 3 engines exceed 600,000 pounds of thrust during testing, causing destructive energy to be driven outward and damaging neighboring homes.
