It seems that the top of the booster fell off when the booster tipped over after a wave hit the droneship. Hopefully not typical.

The bottom portion (RP-1 tank), the landing legs, and the engines stayed on the ship. Octagrabber sustained some damage.

Whelp. Looks like the front fell off.

Hopefully it wasn't made of cardboard derivatives

Do we know if it's been towed outside the environment as of yet?

That’s not very typical - I’d like to make that point.
