It appears that Starship did not terminate in the planned corridor, which is a major FAA violation and could cause a longer delay before Flight 8 (aircraft had to be diverted, etc)

It's not just that ship 33 failed, it's the fact that the flight termination system didn't even do its job correctly :/

Starship 33's Reentry corridor. LOTS of debris expected to wash up in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

Engine loss in the sequence that it went clearly caused the vehicle to go lopsided and changed the inclination of the trajectory. This is BAD https://t.co/GoOJWrt3t9

yea definitely. it couldn't have just been a quick rotation either, all that energy had to get going in the wrong direction, so it must have been off for a bit

it should have detonated before this degree inclination change?
