The BBC are reporting an explosion at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where SpaceX company was readying a rocket for launch.
The cause of the blast is not clear and it is not known if anyone was hurt. Nasa said SpaceX was test-firing a rocket which was due to take a satellite into space this weekend.
Pictures from the scene show a huge plume of smoke rising above the Cape Canaveral complex.
The force of the blast shook buildings several miles away.

I like you. I too, like making jokes about tragedy. It's not because I don't care, it's because it makes me and others feel a little better. :^)

You know, that's just not very nice at all. I would suggest you read something about tragedy by O.J Simpson, it was quite moving and pertinent to your shameful behavior sir.
