Branson: So-called experts will be 'put back in their box'

Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Galactic, has said that the "self-proclaimed experts" who said an explosion caused the spacecraft crash will "be put back in their box".

He criticised a "small element who want to tear people down" by making "wild accusations" about those attempting to achieve great things.

Mr Branson, speaking exclusively to BBC News, also said that as yet no one has cancelled their plans to travel on Virgin Galactic and said they had been "overwhelmed with messages of support"
