Full Story: Wired News: Tribal Curse Haunts Launch Pad

“According to space historian Robert Ash, construction workers building the pad unearthed human remains from an ancient Chumash Indian burial ground. Members of the tribe asked the Air Force to study the area and move the remains to another location, but the military brass ignored the request and continued construction.

Naturally this angered the Chumash tribe, and, according to local legends, a tribe leader put a curse on the site.”

And the curse seems to have worked. Nothing but trouble from there.
