North Korean rocket spectacularly fails… North Koreans stage spectacular celebration
North Korea’s heralded long-range rocket test ended in failure Friday, disintegrating in mid-air soon after blast-off and plunging into the sea in a major embarrassment for the reclusive state.

But even as the defiant failed launch drew condemnation from world leaders who described it as a “provocative” act, these pictures show how tens of thousands of people took to the streets of North Korean capital Pyongyang to celebrate the country’s dear leaders. (Photos: AFP/Getty Images; Reuters)
