Mighty powerful engine if it can launch when bolted down.
Or else the bolts were made out of cheap Chinese steel that was meant to be shipped to America.
Or crappy Chinese bolts. Half the 1/4” lag bolts I tried on my last project snapped off with very little torq.
“Or else the bolts were made out of cheap Chinese steel...”
Probably Boeing mechanics.

There is no indication they bolted it down, rather they may have used clamps.
Those boosters are meant to have many steel tie down cables and a substantial weigh mounted on top of the booster.
It had none of them. Why?
Because the private company has total disregard for safety. They based everything on a Chinese sci-fi comedy cartoon and tried to follow it to the letter.
The crashed booster narrowly missed a small village, a high speed rail line, and could have hit a nearby small city.
Proving that the Chinese do not steal everything.
