MELBOURNE, Fla. – A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule suffered an anomaly Saturday afternoon during a routine engine test firing at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station , company and 45th Space Wing officials confirmed.
"On April 20, 2019, an anomaly occurred at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station during the Dragon 2 static test fire," wing spokesman Jim Williams told Florida Today. "The anomaly was contained and there were no injuries." Florida Today photographer Craig Bailey, who was covering an event in nearby Cocoa Beach, captured an image of orange plumes rising from SpaceX facilities at the cape at around 3:30 p.m.

"Because they all blowed up on the pad during the 21st century. Anomaly solved with the Universal Ban."
(No, not the joke you expected...)
As long as no one is hurt, 'sfun when stuff goes kaboom.

Rumors say there is nothing left of the capsule except for the nosecone. This is the same capsule that went to the space station a bit more than a month ago. The engines on the capsule were being tested before a launch in June that would have tested an abort.
What about Ripley?
The Klingons were the Muslims.
Nominal ... Nominal ... Not nominal
NASA had its share of failures in the 60’s. One fatally.
NASAs “anomaly,” was Apollo 1, that fire killed three men. Sending objects into space is technically demanding and technologically complex. The wonder is not that there are accidents, but that there are so few accidents.

Been rough week for SPACE X - first the recovered booster on the barge toppled over when heavy sea caused one of the landing legs collapsed
Now this - doing a abort test when fire in one of the thrusters
drivel...... the anomaly is the result of ongoing progress.
