Description

When I attempted to land a spaceplane on the runway at KSC today, approaching from a prograde orbit, a few strange things started happening. First, one of the buildings exploded spontaneously, roughly (or perhaps exactly) at the distance that objects come into physics range. Then, while still in midair over the runway, parts of the spaceplane's left wing started exploding.

I reloaded my save before it occurred to me to take a screenshot or check the flight log and could not reproduce this bug when attempting the landing a second time.

May be a duplicate of #3326, although that bug report did not mention any buildings exploding.

This does look like a duplicate, but could you please confirm that the explosions were caused by hitting parts of the space centre? The building may have been damaged previously, and the "phantom" collision was just enough to destroy it.

You can verify the fate of your craft by looking at the log file where it should say what happened. Attaching the log here would be helpful too. If it mentions hitting the space centre, then please report back where we will close this as a duplicate.
