Hi, there seem to be a few who blame some of the debris coming off the rocket
as failing hydraulic powerpacks. I wonder though if the pad debris did not
cause some turbopumps to fail catastrophically and exit via the side skirt. I
base this assumption an the continued vapour escaping from engine area during
the latter high AOA of the rocket. I would assume it to be possible for some
feed lines to have been breached. May explain continued flames not looking like
rocket engine plumes? There must have been tens of tons of debris being thrown
around.
