When I fly around the Bay I regularly hear the E175's around Santa Rosa and other places getting vectored to avoid me, so I figured I'd learn to fly on in MSFS.
I'm hoping that it's a bug in the model that caused a dual engine shutdown when I adjusted cabin A/C

I saw another tweet blaming DAL480, but you can see how controllers routed it to the North around the TFR.
They didn't hit the TFR, they did miss a great view of a launch.

There were two airliners that likely lead to scrub of this morning's Starlink launch - SWA1131 & HAL35 - both would have been following IFR flight plans and ATC instructions.

Because the airspace was closed down airliners had to declare emergencies so they could cross to their destination.
If they'd waited for the required duration they'd have run into low fuel conditions, but by declaring the emergency early they could cross into closed airspace and land.

Watch the Starship attitude change as engines shut down:

Watch the Starship attitude change as engines shut down:
So, from what I can tell the big boom happens, and there's one fragment still venting gas, but there's a cloud of fragments twinkling as they catch the light. These start to hit the atmosphere and start burning up.
Would really like to know the exact timing of this video

Does that look like fire in places where it shouldn't be?

Doesn't look too good for the ship though, loss of telemetry with one vacuum engine showing lit, I wonder where the ship is coming down at that speed.

Note that the engine which didn't relight for the boostback worked fine for the landing.

I'm sure it's just the telemetry being reported in metric which makes it look fast.
