The engine cut was so sudden. I was honestly expecting a more dramatic failure, but still awesome to see reusable rockets steadily becoming the norm.

More dramatic?! There was music and everything...

Dramatic like a fireball rising up from the crash, not the drama created by the camera and music.

Might have been an uncommanded/incorrectly-commanded engine shutdown, or some sort of sensor issue or control system integration bug
