Fyre Festival in the Bahamas is "going down in flames." This is epic stuff. Anyone know someone who is trapped there? Did @Jaguar go?

Here is the webcast. Launch is jsut after the 12 minute mark.

The really cool thing about this one is that the spy satellite was only gong to LEO. So the first stage had ground camera coverage the entire time. Launch to landing. I had never watched that before.
