SpaceX Pad Abort Test
SpaceX
A short SpaceX video of the Dragon 2 pad abort test, in which the capsule's thrusters fire to carry it away from the launch pad. It also shows the pad deluge system.
HN commenters cite it as evidence that Dragon's built-in launch escape system works and that a failed launch need not kill the crew.
