The rocket engine was in the middle of a static test fire, which involves only a rocket engine, no control module or nosecone or recovery system of any sort, not even a self destruct system. The idea of the tests is to have the engine anchored to the ground and the force measured along with other metrics such as temperatures. Unfortunately the engineers that designed the static firing stand failed and the rocket broke off the stand, meaning it only flew up by "luck", it had no reason to be in the air.
