this virgin galactic program. when you look at these pictures here, pieces of presumably this space ship 2 here in the desert and we now have the news that at least one of the pilots has died. it's tough news to swallow. >> actually, yes, brooke. i'm quite heartbroken. i knew both of these pilots very, very well. they were both engaged with the predecessor program to the virgin galactic program and that was the space ship 1 program which was funded by microsoft co-founder paul allen and that was the program that won the $10 million xprize in 2004 and many people may remember that we were just celebrating the tenth anniversary of the winning of that prize earlier this month on october 4th. and people were say, hey, it's been ten years since that prize was won with space ship 1. look at what happened. virgin galactic was the wonderful result of that achievement and look at what virgin is about to become and now today we have this unbelievable, unbelievable tragedy that seems to have taken the life of one of these yo

virgin galactic spaceship two resulted in a crash in the mojave desert. nbc's tom costello is following the very latest for us. tom, what do you have? >> well, this is a real setback for virgin galactic and, of course, a tragedy for the people involved, the families involved. virgin galactic spaceship two was on a test flight. they are in a series -- they are conducting a series of test flights. ultimately to the run-up, their goal of putting paying passengers on this vehicle that would take them to suborbit. not orbit, but suborbit. allow them to feel the weightlessness of space and fly back to earth. today during this test flight we're told, and you're looking at file video, this is not today video, file video. during this test flight as the rocket was firing -- or the engine was firing from spaceship two something, it appears, went terribly wrong. and the vehicle came apart. on board this spaceship two, two test pilots. i was there in january when we had a test flight and we should unders

it said virgin as in virgin galact galactic.ive pictures northeast of los angeles in the mojave desert. what we're learning from virgin galactic is they were testing space ship 2. this is the flight that's supposed to carry celebrities, stars, americans who are paying $250,000 to experience what it is like to see just the edge of space. some 62 miles out. and now you're looking at bits and pieces of this space ship. there's been an anomaly. let's stay precise on the language. an in-flight anomaly led to what you are looking at here. a number of people will be joining me including one of our correspondents here at cnn covering all things space for a number of years. she's been inside space ship 2 and been to this major complex that's virgin galactic and i think what's most important to explain to our viewers is how this space ship is taken up in space if they are test flighting this thing with what's called the white knight. >> the white knight lifts space ship 2 up to 50,000 feet and then space ship 2 launches off. white knight

virgin's doing a great job. i agree with what peter and anusha and others have said, this vehicle had already flew 55 times and was on a powered flight, pushing harder and harder, detailed inspections after every flight. i personally have complete faith and confidence in virgin and they'll rebound after this and things will get safer and safer. >> anusha, people involved with x prize and richard is here wearing his x prize shirt. >> by chance. >> i'm involved with the x prize, you and your family funded the x prize. you say, big problem, got to be fixed, there will be a solution to fix it. but this is in the public domain, that was the issue, it was magical mystical to see rocket ships, but people in this week associate them with accidents. what is your answer to the people who would say, put a brake on this thing, halt this thing, shut it down. >> they were trying to say that whether we wer were running the ansari prize, every time they did a test flight, we would get calls, this is crazy you shouldn't be doing

whether it's in the commercial sphere launching the virgin record group and then virgin atlantic, theirline, or indeed in his own personal extreme endeavors trying to balloon around the world, two of his efforts ended -- one in the ocean -- well, both in the ocean, actually, as they were going across the world. and then the death of one of the people he flew with, steven fawcett. he's been extremely friendly and well known with burt rutan who designed spaceshipone and was very much involved with spaceshiptwo. and back to 1986 when richard branson on a speedboat crossed the atlantic to win the blue ribbon. i'm trying to give you a picture of not a buccaneer, somebody who takes unnecessary risks. somebody who does his research very carefully, has great resources to put into the project, who will look at this from every possible view and then decides to take the risk and proceed. it's in that vein that virgin galactic was conceived, was executed but it was not some cowboy operation, or at least the investigators will now look into what went wrong here. and finally just to point out here,

we are watching to see how virgin galactic is going to respond to this. this is a test flight that was inevitably going to lead to a test flight richard branson was supposed to take some time this year. he was reasonably certain this was going to be a success, and we're seeing from virgin that the test flight -- >> let's give it over to liz claman, it's 3:00. >> we begin with the breaking news, now confirmed fatal crash of virgin galactic spaceship tested by sir richard branson's aerospace company. what you're looking at is the floor of the mojave desert, the test flight craft experienced a, quote, anomaly and the california highway patrol got a report of the crash. earlier we had a shot of the piece of the part of the fuselage and it did indeed have the logo virgin galactic were on it. two pilots, one fatality, one fatality has been confirmed and one other, quote, major injury. we need to tell you that this company, virgin galactic was promising and is promises still zero gravity flights that would take people up for the trip of a lifetime. a real experi

there were three occasions that adele bryce believed she had visions of the virgin mary. and on the third vision, on the third appearance, the virgin mary instructed her to spread the word of salvation throughout the area. among the pioneer people living here in the wilderness. for the rest of her life, she did just that, serving more or less as a missionary here in the area to pioneer families living in a very remote and rugged area of the mid 19th century. after she experienced the apparitions, she confided in her parents and in the local catholic priest. her father built a small shrine here at the location of the apparition. in october, of 1871, a huge wildfire broke out on the west side of green bay in a community known as peshtigo. it remains the largest wildfire in the nation's history. it claimed more than 1200 lives. the wildfire was so great that it created its own atmosphere, more or less, a hurricane of fire. it threw flames, sparks, across the bay of green bay roughly 35 miles and ignited wildfires here in the area of southern door county. on that night as the
