Explosion at Scaled Composites Kills 2, Injures 4

Animats writes "Details are scant at this time, but a explosion at the Scaled Composites rocket test facility has killed two people and seriously injured four more. The Los Angeles Times reports that the explosion was 'ignited by a tank of nitrous oxide.' This is Burt Rutan's facility, and the home of SpaceShip One and Virgin Galactic spacecraft development."

Thank you for your confirmation that all/most people in the military are idiots. No wonder, how else could they think that signing up is a good idea.
Did you notice that this was a cold-flow test with no munitions, rockets etc. involved? Like the previous poster said: you're an ass. No go look for you haversack.
