Scott Manley video, looks like the hold down claps may have ripped the bottom off the booster, allowing it to take off.

Genuinely crazy situation, I don't think that's ever happened before. Either they underestimated the thrust they had, or they saved money on hardware. Possibly calculated shear force for the full stack instead of just the booster. Somebody is definitely fired.
