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

Moment of the breakup:

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

I felt.. bad watching that breakup, it reminded me of Columbia.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, but I thought this too.

Meta-commentary is annoying (yes, I realize the irony.)

It's a weird deja vu feeling of uneasiness. I can't explain it, but I think also Columbia really hit me as my generation's Challenger.
