Cars already headed to the pad. That's very good sign.

Edit: People already at the pad area

Edit: Edit: Picking up debris. Looks like loose stuff that got blown around. Not seeing any concrete

Maybe not FTS?

Looks scorched but otherwise okay. Definitely an improvement, no 20ft deep crater

The FTS was triggered on Starship either shortly before or shortly after engine cut off. No word yet as to why

Here's Scott Manley

His speculation on what happened to the booster matched what some where saying in chats.
He then moves on to Starship itself. He notices there was a puff followed by LOX level dropping faster than the CH4
Also of note is both debris trails were picked by radar.
And also also of note is video from Puerto Rico supposedly showing debris burning up in the atmosphere

Edit: You can see it tumbling after the FTS fired
Edit Edit: Wow, at one point you can make out after it broke up the top half (front) section with the flaps

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
Just inspected the Starship launch pad and it is in great condition!

No refurbishment needed to the water-cooled steel plate for next launch.

Congrats to @Spacex
 team & contractors for engineering & building such a robust system so rapidly!

SpaceX Starship explodes in second test flight. What's next for crewed lunar missions?
