Watching the frontflap work to keep control in the lower atmosphere, lit by something burning out of frame, after seeing a third of it evaporate and get blown off by hypersonic plasma. Beats the supersonic flips flight 1 gave us as the most metal thing I've seen a rocket do

Do you have the time stamp for when this happens in the video?

Flap burn-through begins at T+57:10.
