Rich,
I think you may be confusing SpaceX with Orbital ATK, which used surplus Russian/Soviet rocket engines on its Antares rocket which exploded over Wallops Island in 2014. SpaceX has been using engines of its own design for its rockets.
As for the explosion this morning, my office and I have been watching a video of it. Alan WA4SCA just mentioned it, and here is a link to it:
