Screenshot CRASH LANDING: Watch as this unmanned SpaceX rocket takes a fiery crash landing during a test flight earlier this week. The test flight had been scrapped a daily earlier due to an engine issue and while the launch and ascent were successful, issues arose Wednesday.

"I've been trying to hang on for the last six months. I thought it was going to get better, but it hasn't," owner Allen Frigetto said Friday. "I just don't get enough people in here. I'm going to have to shut it down. It's costing $3,000 to $4,000 per month to put keys in the door."
