Sounds like they lost the center core (might just mean the signal its not clear), hell of a showing though the team should be really proud of the accomplishment. https://twitter.com/stevewdavens/status/960984330943258624 Original audio from the webcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B_tWbjFIGI&feature=youtu.be...
That's a guy with 18 followers, tweeting to SpaceX. I'd wait for official word.

2 out of 3 ain't half bad.

9:00 into the feed, it's likely the core either missed or failed to land properly. Although the screen is partially out of view.
Someone noticed there was a camera feed on the mission control wall that shows the Center Core's drone ship, after the smoke clears no ship can be seen: https://twitter.com/Darkphibre/status/960990105581240321 9:00 into the feed, it's likely the core either missed or failed to land properly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
If you look at the footage closely you see that they used the same footage for both boosters. Nevertheless, the landing was superb. edit: https://youtu.be/wbSwFU6tY1c?t=37m53s
The announcer addressed this, he said that he footage was not the same but looked similar because of the proximity of the boosters to each other. I think they were just extremely well choreographed. If you watched the side view from the landing pad they landed at almost exactly the same time.
I'm curious how the realized design that's launching today compares to the Saturn V. This article from 2016 implies that the Saturn V has three times the payload capacity, but that the Falcon Heavy is twelve times cheaper to launch (adjusting for inflation), implying a fourfold advantage in cost efficiency: https://www.universetoday.com/129989/saturn-v-vs-falcon-heav...
