More “buzz” at that site on the “shut down.”

Someone commented that if it had been an “explosion” they should have aborted the mission vs if it was a “shut down” of a defective engine, you go with a longer burn and proceed.

To my untrained eye, it looks like an explosion to me.

Yep, definitely an explosion. You could see large pieces of debris blow back through the exhaust.
