NASA TV now showing flaming debris all around the pad. Two of the four lightning towers surrounding the pad were destroyed.

NASA announced there will be a news conference coming. The crew on the ISS has been informed of the launch failure.

The Russians are going to be launching a Progress cargo ship very early tomorrow morning Eastern Time.
