Landed OK.
No boom? I wonder how long before they can diagnose what happened.
It did land where it was supposed to, on a designated landing site in the desert, so the re-entry guidance system did its job. This is an improvement over water landings.

Nobody is stranded. At no time does NASA not have a plan to evacuate the space station if there's an emergency. There's currently 7 people aboard and 5 space craft docked, all of which can carry multiple people, all of which can be used to get people off the station.
You’re describing a plan for how to deal with stranded astronauts. If I’m on a road trip and my car breaks down at a gas station, I’m stranded. Even if there are other people and other cars at the gas station, and even if I still have access to emergency services, and even if I have a plan for how to deal with being stranded at a gas station.

It landed passively, by parachute. It did land where it was supposed to, on a designated landing site in the desert, so the re-entry guidance system did its job. This is an improvement over water landings.
