One thing I noticed from the videos, is that a number of 1st stage
engines didn't light. Could that have something to do with the failure?
Either they didn't light, or they didn't stay lit. Yeah, it could well be
connected -- at the very least, having some engines out will have meant
slower acceleration, and hence lower speed and denser air at staging time.
Not obvious how that turns into a staging failure, but maybe there's a
connection.
