Fair speculation: one booster didn't separate normally.


No, that's a fact.


Point me to an official report, or high resolution video that confirms
which booster didn't separate properly and somehow hit one of the core
engines.

Media quoting some unnamed NASA official who heard from grapevine that
this is what the russian are looking is is not official conformation.

What the media are saying MAY come from sources that turn out to be
accurate. But that doesn't mean that what they are saying is, at this
point, confirmed facts.

You are also ignoring the possibility that the booster improperly
separating may be the result of a problem instead of being a cause.

Why should Fred, or anyone else, do your research for you? Again, the
space press online is covering this incident like a fracking pack of
leaches. This information really isn't hard to find. You seem to be
the one lacking the initiative to actually look it up and read.

Over the years on many occasions I've posted which space news websites I
follow. There are a lot of them. This is 2018 and information is quite
easy to find if you just take the time to look for it. Jebus!
