Engineers followed the X-43A as it travelled in excess of 1,000km (620 miles), losing speed before and plunging into the Pacific.

Hm, maybe "before" was supposed to come prior to "losing speed", but in that case, it's not clear if the X-43A or the "Engineers" lost speed and plunged into the Pacific. While I imagine the latter was also a possibility, it probably would have made bigger news.
