VSS Enterprise crash

On October 31, 2014, VSS Enterprise, a Virgin Galactic Scaled Composites Model 339 SpaceShipTwo experimental spaceflight test vehicle, suffered a catastrophic in-flight breakup and crashed in the Mojave Desert, California, United States while performing a test flight. The co-pilot, Michael Alsbury, was killed and the pilot, Peter Siebold, was seriously injured.
