, let s bring in miles o brien. we did see the launch of the starship rocket all was going well, that it ended with an explosion there. miles. explain what happened. uh well, you, um there will be a lot of discussion about this. this the one thing i did notice, john. as it went up, there was a shot where you could see the bottom of the rocket. as i told you earlier, there are 33 separate rapture engines on this vehicle . six of them had not lit. so whether that is related to what we just saw. i don t know. i mean, without six engines that would potentially affect the ability of the rocket to remain stable. and that could, uh, ultimately have led to what we ve seen here now is that an actual explosion of the rocket or was a button pushed on the ground? the self destruct button , which is designed to keep the rocket from flying into harm s way, we ll find out more about that as well. ah having said all
booster, which is the bottom part of the rocket. and then the spacecraft rocket itself was all was almost was already done as well. and they were also going through the process of cooling the entire system down and all of that started happening about three minutes t minus three minutes to this launch, so they ve been saying that everything was on track. but here just about 40 seconds away from the launch is when they put it on hold and john, we continue to kind of wait and see if there s any other indication. i m not hearing anything right now. so i would imagine they re in the process of what we ve gathering that and seeing if we can hear any other, let s listen in ed. they re talking with this morning s rocket launch pressurization was just a little bit long. that s not unusual. we ve held a t minus 40 seconds before to pressurize that appears to have been resolved the same time on the second stage. they re working some final purging. we should know very shortly. if that is cleared n

everyone especially that person is excited to keep going. like john said. we should know shortly if we are able to continue, but as we mentioned before we are able to hold up to 15 minutes and still be able to lift off today on falcon nine, listening and learning it all with you at the very same time as they were on hold. i think they said that final pressurization was a little low is what i think i heard him say. um and then the second stage they re working on doing some purging for more on what that is going to mean. i m gonna bring miles o brien back in miles. they just said that they can hold for 15 minutes and still be within the window and lift off will jump in as they give us updates. but what do you hear in this? well in this business, you have to be able to operate under pressure. shall we say a and that s quite literal. it s um you know, if you recall it s scrubbed a few days ago for lack
john, according to records with the police department. singletary who again is still out there on the loose, was arrested back in december as well for using a mini sledgehammer during a domestic related assault and then preventing that victim from getting medical care. the mother of uh, ken s lee s father says that she s even more concerned because of this person s past. john, this is terrifying. my kids when they play basketball, the ball is in the neighbor s yard more than ours really unthinkable. diane gallagher, keep us posted. thank you. sarah nightmare new this morning. three young people are now facing murder charges for a mass shooting at a sweet 16 birthday party that left four people dead and at least 32 people injured in dade ville, alabama. the suspects are 20 year old wilson , lamar hill jr. 17 year old tyreek mccullough and 16 year old travis mccullough. they are all facing four counts of reckless murder. all of the
