Watching the live feed from Spacex, it seems 5 of the engines didn't light, don't think that caused the problem though, the two stages didn't separate.. used the wrong type of glue!
Still not sure if it just exploded or if they used the self destruct system.
Yup. There is a mass of explosive(s) placed in every rocket fairing so if it has failures like this thing experienced, it is destroyed. Little parts hitting the ground, potentially at a population center, is better that a big piece landing.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
