Someone threw their wooden shoes into the works just before launch.

Or, second stage failure. Pre- ignition. (PI? - is there a pill for that?)

If you stop the video at the moment of the failure, you will see that it starts at mid-rocket body...................

Range Safety Destruct System likely engaged as the rocket canted beyond allowed limits.

Maybe. Maybe bad structure in the first stage propellant grain. That can cause excess pressure near the top of the grain.

Significant that this launch vehicle is entirely solid propellant.

Or first stage pressure dome failure. It appears that solid fuel was burning from both ends of the grounded stage.

Could also be a command destruct. Sure looked slewed right after liftoff but, they had to clear the canyon so that may have been commanded.
