Review the data...launch on April 12th? That's still a month away! They're going to take it down pull it back under cover so they can give it a detailed inspection. Plus they have to replace a bunch of cork tile.

run it in slow motion, the shake is gone.. looks like a good test ...
I tried to clean it up. It's still a mess but it's attached.
