    I’m starting to think that myself. It was too good for too long to suddenly get so bad.

    That’s great... the replay link is just some YTuber blabbing about the event over some old ‘footage’.

    Just a bit more information, the explosion wasn't at the SpaceX launch pad, it was at their testing location a couple miles away (they do the tests there for this very reason so they don't lose the entire launch complex if things go south.)
 While it will be a setback as it looks like the test facility sustained major damage which will likely put any testing on hold for weeks or months, it could have been worse.

    Wasn’t there a bolt of lightning seen in the replay?
