That was the flight where the first stage didn't separate cleanly, and bumped the 2nd stage nozzle. They also suffered from some propellant slosh in the second stage, resulting in the 2nd stage "losing it", and tumbling. They cut the web video off just as it was apparent they had a major problem, but the complete video leaked out, and it's pretty interesting to watch. Jim KQ6EA

Looks like this is video from the 2nd SpaceX launch which ended in a premature second stage shut down.
I guess I was hoping too hard for a success!!
