From this vidcap, the mains weren’t even lit. I doubt they were loading LOX or propellant during a live-fire test. So I don’t think this has anything to do with the engines or the spacecraft itself. It’s most likely something in the fuel/oxidizer delivery system.

"...and shook buildings miles away." It's exactly for this kind of reason that the only buildings around ARE miles away.
