Kinda funny that the author didn't draw a connection between the pad damage and the engine failures. If the rocket is blasting a hole in the pad and throwing chunks of concrete hundreds of meters, you figure some of those pieces of debris might have gone upwards and damaged rocket engines?

If the excuse is "that's too hard" or "I'm not paid to add information after publishing" then that's just dumb. The video showing a car being smashed by pad ejecta was posted ten minutes after launch: https://twitter.com/SemrauDylan/status/1649050806577164293 https://twitter.com/SemrauDylan/status/1649050806577164293
