I've also seen this referenced on Twitter. What's going on? The real-time video on ESA site seems hanged up...
Please provide a link - I've found nothing.
https://mobile.twitter.com/searches?q=vega+explode returns no results.
Edit: Thanks for your link but it just points back to this same page, it's not supporting evidence.
Edit: The alleged "More information" from the same Twitter account is simply a link to what is clearly a computer generated image of a launch. Not credible.
This appears to be a traffic generating scam/hoax.

This is the link I saw:

Is this true? I cannot confirm this, as the link there does not clarify much.
As far as I can find, there is nothing to support this. I think this is just an attempt to bring traffic to his/her website.
I don't think so, as Jottit is an instant web page creator and it doesn't seem to be any ad there. Why bother? Just trolling? I'm amused.

Edit: Nothing on the ESA twitter feed: https://mobile.twitter.com/esa
Edit: Even though it claims the explosion was at about 13:30, ESA was still tweeting about success at 14:00. Seems pretty clear this is a hoax, or blogspam, or similar.
