Sounds like they're looking to recycle to T-13 or so. If the plume coming out of the flame trench in the frozen feed is fuel, did the ignition just not catch?

On all 9 engines?

Sounded like another abort due to off-nominal params, so the engines did ignite as happened last time. Hence the smoke out the flame trench.

We're all still stuck on the below. All they've done is removed the clock.

Here's the last frame I could grab before things went all wonky. This one lasted for a few seconds then the plume appeared.

SpaceXer: "Static fire aborted, reviewing data."

If they need to change an abort limit and verify it through their hardware-in-the-loop test at Hawthorne, the next attempt could be a wait.

Unrelated note - that pad camera has an... umm, "interesting" white balance setting...
