I nearly had a heart attack thinking Boeing or SpaceX pulled a fast one on us all.

I doubt that any actual login is required - I think they just meant go visit that link.
Are they just testing an abort motor or will they be testing a capsule with parachutes as well? And if there’s a capsule inside the fairing, is it a prototype of the crewed spacecraft seen in drawings and illustrations, or something else?
Could this be the one. Just guessing
According to information put together from multiple sources, a roughly 3,770-kg trial crew module, aided by four solid-fuelled rockets built around it, will be flown up to a distance of 2.4 km. On firing, the module will be jettisoned and demonstrate a safe descent with the help of parachutes — all this in around three minutes.

#BreakingNews The first pad-abort test conducted by @isro from Sriharikota as part of its future manned space mission is successful. Sources say currently data is being looked at & prima facie all test conditions were met. Await for confirmation.@OnmanoramaLive @akananth
I see grid fins here. Is it on crew module, or is it on crew module adapter?Quote from: chota on 07/05/2018 05:31 pmhttps://english.manoramaonline.com/news/nation/2018/07/05/isro-conducts-key-crew-escape-test-for-human-space-mission.html

The capsule separated from the parachutes before splashdown, giving what looked like a pretty hard landing!
Official pad abort test video from isro with original audio track attached. The other one posted on this thread has the original audio removed.

Either they were not installed or they did not work.My jut feel is that they were not installed for this test for some reason and was tested only for parachute deployment
