Top dome starting to frost up.

The dome is nearly fully frosted.

Looks pretty much fully frosted and is venting quite a bit.

So much LN2 its spilling over the sides.

Venting from the top has stopped, but its still venting from the side.

Here is SN7.1’s remains in the morning light, looks like the entire bulkhead sank down into the tank, some of the steel on bottom looks slightly crushed, and continual venting from the thrust section is ongoing.

Road has been opened for a while now.
