This is a normal post As far as I can tell from the video
There's a few seconds of intense fire at the front following the initial outburst, which looks a lot like the second stage motor firing against the first stage. Shortly after that you get total break-up from aerodynamic forces (which is what actually destroyed Challenger and Columbia).

This is a normal post It's dead jim
There's chatter that one of the umbilicals didn't separate correctly on the pad which may have blocked a vent valve for the Oxygen tank. It appears the Oxygen tank finally let go just prior to first stage separation - what you see is a pressure explosion and not really much in the way of fire.
I suspect they knew this was happening and let it run in case the first stage separated OK and they could at least try to land on their barge.
Press conference later will probably confirm but definitely no lettuce for the ISS tonight.
Probably not the best Birthday Elon Musk has ever had.

This is a normal post Lox tank overpressure would surely be solved once the stage motor ignited.
If that is the case then it'd be a case of hoping the Lox tank can withstand the overpressure as atmospheric pressure reduces (outside) and Lox boils (inside) until the turbopump starts.

This is a link post Strictly Underground Rave, Wembley, New Years Eve 1994
'On NYE of 1994, Strictly Underground Records and Ravealation hosted a wild rave at Wembley Exhibition Centre in London. The recently resurfaced hour long video not only gives you footage scenes of the classic event, but also interviews with well-known DJs from that timeframe and those in attendance.
For the older crowd it’s a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and for the new school it’s a look into the UK’s classic rave scene. It shows that although much has changed with electronic music shifting into a more mainstream light and much of the underground straying from its roots, the central idea of the party hasn’t lost much of its original spark'

EDIT: Wont embed, its an hour long docu video. Good if you like that sort of thing.

This is a normal post Acid house was where it was at.
jungle came a bit later and was more commercial. But the down side was it was moody, not happy and fun like acid house. The dance scene changed after 95. Became much more commercial and that was that. We ended up with Fat Boy Slim (ex-house Martin) as the Don of house, not Man Paris.

This is a normal post Thanks for posting this, brings back memories
Me and a couple of mates were at this rave (can't spot us in the video) and I have to say it was a pretty dodgy affair! We saw someone being beaten up in the toilets which must have been over drugs (no drugs scandals, my arse!) and also at the end of the night at the cloakroom, a girl completely lost her shit and wrecked a couple of coat rails sending loads of coats and belongings all over the place creating absolute mayhem.
I would say that it was probably one of the worst raves I went to.

20 years ago I'd have said chop and drop it. I think Pops were all leaf and you can lose 5" of ride height by putting the axles over rather than under the springs, cheap and easy. Some coil-over dampers sort the ride out.
Roof chop I have never been part of, but boy they look good.
