And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Given how beat up it looks (missing a top fin, looks like there was a blowout / explosion in the engine section, etc.), it's a wonder it made it back down in one piece, let alone generally gracefully.
The top fin isn't missing, you just can't see it because of the angle it is to the drone taking the video. I can see it easily at the 17 second mark in the video

I'm not a metallurgist, but I reckon an extremely hot vehicle suddenly submerging into relatively cold water would result in catastrophic failure. Add explosive reagents and boom!
