The Saturn V of Apollo fame was a ~2.5 kt non-nuclear bomb, that exploded in just one direction.
That’s about one sixth of the Little Boy gun-type atomic bomb that exploded over Hiroshima.

There’s a lot of telemetry and high speed video, so SpaceX likely has a good idea of the cause. They just aren’t saying at this time. Koenigsmann expressed confidence that it wasn’t the fuel tanks or the engines. I suppose that would leave fuel lines and valves.

Sadly, I’ve heard nor seen anything of Jack for over a year. Not sure if he was zotted or left on his own.
He was a fountain of info on many things space-related.
