SpaceX Starship 36 Anomaly
There's a high quality slow motion video available [1] that shows the problem was almost certainly a failed pressure tank, not the engines.

Well that video makes it very clear: the problem is the front fell off, and a bit too enthusiastically.

Is the front supposed to fall off?

Did they use cardboard derivatives?

Let's wait for the engineers to confirm that isn't supposed to happen.

Maybe they should engineer them so that the front doesn't fall off

Unfortunately, that neccesarily increases the risk that the back falls off.

There's something strangely beautiful about this video, similar to the Hindenburg video perhaps, so much detail everywhere
