At the re-entry malfunction in hydraulic system resulted in the wild gyration and rotation of the booster. Although at the very last moment the stage righted itself, instead of landing on Landing Zone 1 (former LC-13) it splashed down in the ocean near the LC-37, i.e. almost 5 miles northeast of target. Based on erratic behavior during descent the stage could've easily landed at the spectators if it went west of splashdown. |

 Second burn. |
 Burn continues, but stage is in different attitude. Thrusters are trying to right the stage. |
 Stage continues gyrating and spinning |
 Just seconds from splashdown. |
