I wonder what's that tiny thing that seems to have broken off some two seconds before it hit the ground?

  Indeed, there were two. Two objects broke off from the ship before impact, one just before the first swing of the pendulum and one just after.

  Also, there was an unusually large flame at the end of the liftoff. Maybe that already sealed SN9's fate.

    At apogee? Pretty sure that final flame is expected.

      At T+01:11 with 3 engines still lit (https://youtu.be/_zZ7fIkpBgs?t=397 https://youtu.be/_zZ7fIkpBgs?t=397). Not the apogee one at T+04:34.

        That’s just a bit of wraparound suction flame, no big deal.

  Watching it in slow motion, it looks almost like pieces of insulating foil.
