Yes, viewed from Village of Sanibel. Lanai facing west, so we look slightly to the right and have a good view of launchings. Didn't think it seemed right, and when I came back in they were just reporting a "launch vehicle failure". SpaceX has September launch planned. Hopefully they can recover from this failure and move on. One report said it happened as the rocket went supersonic and was separating first stage. Possible something shook loose in the transition. Smart engineers will figure it out.
