Reports indicate that SpaceX or the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation was test firing one of its rockets when the explosion occurred.
It is unclear what caused the explosion but the area is filled with thick black smoke coming from the launchpad.
One source reported, “We actually thought the building was collapsing, it shook us so bad. But some people in the operations and checkout building didn’t feel it.”
