??? The article specificalliy states it _was_ a spaceship 2 engine
being tested and that Scaled Composit's truck was at the bunker. It
is true that the motor was for 'non-Rutan' project.

1) Read the article. The subject line isn't a WAG.

2) That isn't/wasn't the point anyway. The point is that there was an
unfortunate accident and good people died.

Word is out now, with the name of the fatally injured.

Condolences for those involved, and prayers go out for the injured.

A sad day, indeed.
