A fire in the aft section of SpaceX's Starship trigged the apparent explosion that destroyed the spacecraft, the company says.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and officials from the Turks and Caicos Islands have launched probes into SpaceX's explosive Starship rocket test that sent debris streaking over the northern Caribbean and forced airlines to divert dozens of flights.

The FAA said that there has been no reports of injuries related to falling debris, but some public property in Turks and Caicos were reportedly damaged.

A pilot and his passenger were not injured when a plane crashed in Plainview Thursday night while attempting to make an emergency landing.

The FAA has ordered SpaceX to investigate what caused on of the company's Starships to explode over Turks and Caicos Thursday.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a United Airlines flight and a Delta Airlines flight had a near-collision over Phoenix on Saturday.

An 80-year-old pilot survived a plane crash with minor injuries after his Luscombe 8A single-engine aircraft crashed into trees in Papillion Monday evening.

The close call between the United and Delta flights at the Phoenix airport comes amid an increase in plane near-collisions.

The FAA grounded SpaceX’s Starship pending an investigation into the failure that caused the rocket to break apart midflight after launching on Thursday.

No injuries have been reported from falling debris after SpaceX's Starship exploded in the sky over the Bahamas. However, the FAA has halted further test flights while it investigates.

The incident in which a SpaceX rocket broke up after launch demonstrates the challenges the FAA will face as the number of commercial space flights increases.
