Looks like second stage broke up over Caribbean, videos of the debris (as seen from ground):

What a strangely beautiful sight. While I was excited to see ship land, I'm also happy I get to see videos of this!

As long as the debris has no effect wherever it lands, I agree with you

A lot of flights seem to be diverting to avoid it...

Does SpaceX bother with NOTAM for its launches?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTAM

It seems like the flights should have been planned around it so no diversion would be needed.

They do but its not clear to me whether the area where it broke up was actually included in the original NOTAM. The NOTMAR definitely does not according to the graphic shown on the NASASpaceflight stream. They are still live so I can't link a time code but something like -4:56 in this stream as of posting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nM3vGdanpw

Since i couldn't find the time code in the video, i put a map together with both NOTAM and NOTMAR.

Lets hope this is the year of Linux desktop and i didn't violate any licenses or made big errors ;)
