Aborted second time -0:48; engines didn't start this time and someone on the live stream called "abort"
listened back to the stream
"abort abort abort - props con(?) abort"
at about 1h:58m in the stream
EDIT : announcer did say that engineering stopped it because they hadn't done their review. Maybe the "abort abort abort" wasn't as dramatic as it sounded
"We called manual abort. Better to be paranoid and wrong. Bringing rocket down to borescope engines ... Elon Musk (@elonmusk) "

- AYBABTME 13y ago10 mins before trying to launch again, Elon tweeted: "Increasing helium spin start pressure. Probably <50% chance of passing all aborts, but worth a try. Countdown resuming " https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/406205240040771584 So it was unlikely they would go when they restarted the countdown.
