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

Y'know, some of these are built so the bottom doesn't rip off at all.

Well there are a lot of these ships flying around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that rockets aren’t safe.
