So it's decided that the booster lost control after losing too many engines/loss of hydraulic TVC.
Unknown if they even tried to initiate a seperation, most likely not.

Will be interesting to see what kind of solution that spacex tries to find to reduce pad damage, I imagine they might extend the tower upwards and then build some kind of diverter above ground, maybe out of steel, in combination with some kind of deluge system to limit shockwaves.

Pretty surprising/lucky that the stack got as far as it did with the damage the engines likely sustained, a couple more engines and it might not have cleared the pad.
Also clear that the stack is also probably tough as hell if it can take those shear forces from tumbling.

Is there any vidya where i can play as sergei korolev head of OKB-1 of the soviet unions glorious space program.
