RIP SN10
Thinking it may have been deemed a tad dangerous to approach so they pushed a button.
I think they ran out of water sadly, there was definitely a leak from the bottom and when the water turned off, about 60 seconds later it went up. There was a fire ongoing I think on the side that it was leaning on, and when you freeze frame the explosion started at the bottom on the side that was crumpled.
I mean...it took off, it flew up, it came back down, it landed and it stayed landed for a few minutes.
Good enough.
Pressure vessel failure? Bottom blew out forcing the rest of the craft upwards.
Guy on the SpaceX feed said one engine landing was planned.Looks like it only landed on one engine. 3 lit for the final flip, then one cuts out as expected, immediately followed by a second. Not sure if their engine cutoff procedure was wrong and incorrectly shut 2 engines down, or if one correctly shut down and one failed. Time will tell.

That looks 99% successful.
Legs didn't deploy or collapsed entirely... and is on fire.
[edit]
Can see the little landing legs deploy on the SpaceX feed, and also shows the landing to be a little rough. But damn it... it's down and substantially less disassembled than SN8 and SN9
It was the same with SN9, the 2 engines help de-accelerate it enough for a suitable landing speed which it does on a single engine.Oh really? I thought the whole idea of lighting 3 was to land on 2.
