      Wow, that's not good. They said that they don't believe that anyone was hurt. Thank goodness, that could have been really bad.

          I don't think that we have lost one like that in quite a while.

            Whoa! That was a huge explosion. Here's a link that works, since that one isn't working: http://youtu.be/jHMmMgdcOSU

                  It was working earlier. Something happened to it.

                    Maybe something is wrong connected with the recent update. Very odd.

                      OK time to fix the embedded youtube links... I guess we'll be getting an update real soon. 😉

                        It's all links. I checked. I've opened a bug report.

                          I am all about not letting old engines die, but using an engine that is 60 years old to go to space probably isn't the best idea.

                            I heard about it on the radio 3 minutes after it happened. I happen to be driving into my neighborhood and I kept seeing people run outside and look up. I guess some neighbors may have thought it happened at Kennedy.

                                          Video is fixed. The embedded videos are breaking from the "last letter being dropped" problem.

                                            Well - actually - they know where it was the whole time - they just decided to toast marsh mellows with it. Check this perspective of it out:
