Am I going mad I only see two booster landing in the video?

  On the live stream, the video feed cut out for the landing of the third (middle) booster.

    This almost always happens. It's really hard to keep a stable satellite connection, while a 150ft. booster is blasting the deck with the exhaust from 3 firing rocket engines.

      It doesn't fire all three engines down to the deck. The landing burn starts with one engine (in order to have more control authority when the two outboard engines start up), then two more engines get lit, then they shut down shortly before the actual landing (reducing the TWR makes the landing a bit easier).

  The two side boosters were landed close together on dry land. The core third booster was landed down-range on a sea platform.
