separation. My guess (and it is a guess) is that one or more of the

Yet, you stated categorically they knew WHAT happened. But now admit
that it is just a guess on what happened.


Once again your defective English language skills appear to have
betrayed you.


Fact: Anomaly detected and capsule eject was activated automatically.
Fact: Crew landed safely.

Fair speculation: one booster didn't separate normally.


No, that's a fact.


The rest at this point is pure guessing/speculation. So anyone who makes
claims to know WHAT happened is really stating his guesses are facts.


Again you display massive ignorance about the difference between WHAT
and WHY.


The russian investigators may have mnore factual data at this point that
point to what happened. But as fat as I know, this hasn't been released
to media.

The youtube videos of the event don't seem to be high enough resolution
for general public to even really see what happened, even less guess
that some valve malfunctioned. For all we know, the same gremlins that
scared the pants off William Shatner in an old documentary called "The
TWilight Zone" started to tear the metal off the rocket as it ascended.


For all YOU know, perhaps, but then you're pretty much perpetually
stupid with an axe to grind.
