Not bloody likely.

Who’d do it? The Chinese?

Sabotage?

In a way. Contrary to the reports from “journalists”, it didn’t spontaneously explode. Once it was clear that the vehicle was out of control the range safety officer triggered the flight termination system, intentionally destroying the vehicle.

As others have already said, a successful test. That liftoff was mind-bogglingly impressive. I will be anxious to hear how the pad held up, because I saw some large pieces of metal debris lifted a couple hundred feet into the air by the blast.
