According to SpaceX, "Low pressure in the fuel header tank during the landing burn led to high touchdown velocity resulting in a hard (and exciting!) landing."

In simpler terms, SN8’s fuel header tank experienced low pressure as the rocket descended, which caused the rocket to land too quickly and therefore too hard, which caused the explosion.

Why was SN8 venting pressure while this was happening?
Why the fuck would the release valve be located practically inside the cockpit?
weird ass designs, does anyone have blueprints showing the plumbing?
