It is currently still live with Travis Brown so can ask questions in chat and maybe get an answer.

Don't have a youtube account to ask a question, but if I had I would ask what the chances would be for those blades to break at their joint with the shaft, if the tips hit loose regolith.

I do have an account and already asked one related question but may have got lost in the mass of comments. Anyway they are apparently about to get to the crash soon.

So #Flight71 was indeed very problematic; it came down with a lateral speed of 1m/s, which explains what we saw in the RTE image from that flight.

There is not tip hitting the ground. The most plausible cause is coming down very hard. QED.
