Details:
First flight of Starship Block 2. B14 was successfully caught marking the second successful catch and the first of a Block 2 booster. During its ascent burn, S33's engines began to shutdown followed by a total loss of communication attributed to a harmonic resonance greater than predicted which caused a fuel leak. After the communications loss, the ship automously activated its FTS over the Turks and Caicos Islands resulting in the closure of surrounding airspace for over an hour. No injuries nor damage to property were reported
