Does anybody have a way to watch the video again? I'm curious to watch it again now that I know what happened. I haven't watched many launches before so I didn't know if what was happening was routine or not. Though, admittedly, it was weird that one second there was a rocket, then the next there was only debris...

Here's a second[0] video in case the first one goes down.

Based on that, one can clearly see by stepping frame by frame at 3:20 disintergration of what i imagine must be second stage fueltanks. Difficult to say if it is oxygen or kerosene, but since its expanding so rapidly it would seem likely that its a oxygen tank.

But nevertheless its just guessing from me and im no expert.
