>Initial armchair aerospace engineer analysis suggests one of the COPVs in the payload bay, which are arranged around the header tank transfer tubes, may have blown and punched a hole in the windward side of the ship while also severing both header tank transfer tubes. Ship belly starts to unzip and the fwd dome is damaged leading to mixing and ignition. Important to note that there were workers up around the payload bay on S36 in recent days after the successful single engine static fire.
