Default SpaceX Dragon 2 capsule destroyed in abort motor ground test

Hi all

Has anyone seen any official news or information from SpaceX themselves? Their website hasn't yet been updated (last I checked). Not exactly something that you want splashed all over the front pages, but then again they have been amazingly open about previous failures.

On an aside, assuming a total vehicle loss from this "anomaly" how soon will the next test article be available? Does SpaceX have a couple of capsules waiting or was this the only one?

Regards
Frank
