I just heard a rumour that the 'counter-intuitive' cause of the explosion was a mistaken abort - perhaps someone over-cautiously pressed the red button because of the overpressure?

Based on timing of launch video from [http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/06/28/video-spacex-supply-ship-explodes-just-after-launch/], lift-off first movement was @video 0:31, def T=0. Then first evidence of LOX leak @video 2:50, ie, T+2:19; first stage normal and stable on-course for another ~9-10 sec, until video @02:59, so blow up and disintegration at T+2:28 ff. NO FLIGHT TERMINATION SIGNAL SENT, per press conferences. By stepping through the video, timings appear accurate to ~1 sec. I suppose this may be considered [[WP:OR]], so I have only put it into a comment, pending feedback from other users.

Abort Error
I just heard a rumour that the 'counter-intuitive' cause of the explosion was a mistaken abort - perhaps someone over-cautiously pressed the red button because of the overpressure? Is there any source to verify this? Stub Mandrel (talk) 16:49, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
Timing of disintegration, from video
Based on timing of launch video from [1], lift-off first movement was @video 0:31, def T=0. Then first evidence of LOX leak @video 2:50, ie, T+2:19; first stage normal and stable on-course for another ~9-10 sec, until video @02:59, so blow up and disintegration at T+2:28 ff. NO FLIGHT TERMINATION SIGNAL SENT, per press conferences. By stepping through the video, timings appear accurate to ~1 sec. I suppose this may be considered WP:OR, so I have only put it into a comment, pending feedback from other users. Wwheaton (talk) 00:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
