“First stage continued firing until range safety destroyed it.

I wonder if it could have landed if it weren’t destroyed.

If a parachute line appeared, it would have been the drogue chute.

It appears the second stage fuel tanks ruptured with no ignition, for whatever reason.

Even if the Dragon didn’t have a drogue deploy or the mains it might be tough enough to withstand ocean impact.
