Most Sci-Fi real footage I have ever seen.
Edit: Reminds me of "The Eye" from star wars Andor

Where will this debris land? Can it impact airplane routes?
HN comments is just reading strangers steam of consciousness now?

#104The most important payload for this flight was data. The ship was always going to be lost so from a standpoint of testing this was a huge success! I'm excited to see how quickly they resolve whatever happened and get IFT 8 going.

The last one is stage separation, not an explosion. You can clearly see the "exploded" rocket continuing to fly afterwards.
I dont think so. I think it is the breakup, with a large mass visible. most of the material will continue on until it parabolically renters and burns up in a visible manner

#1064M viewers. comparable to top politics events. ship looks to be lost. this was the main part, so it's almost complete failure.
Let us say 2/3rds of a failure.
SpaceX has a way of making the nearly impossible expected. We have forgotten quite quickly that booster catch is still a very experimental feature. Return to base on this flight wasn't routine yet.

Inadvertently perfect timing for this footage. Glowing and backlit by the setting sun, against clear and already darkening evening sky... couldn't plan the shot any better if you tried.
Let's hope no debris came down on anyone or anything apart from open water.

east of Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean. Draw a line from Boca Chia to Turks and keep going

No, if that was taken from the Bahamas, that's an explosion connected to the loss of the 2nd stage.
Staging happens closer to the Texas coast and I don't believe you'd have line of sight to it from the Bahamas.

#110I miss the time before X broke so many things, like official streams being on Twitch where I've already paid for ad free viewing.
I'm glad it's not on Twitch. I don't like it being on X but twitch is worse since it's extremely hard to get any working Adblock on there.
