The nozzle shattered at the end??

EDIT: Looked like a normal length burn, but that did NOT look nominal at the end.

Just before T+120 call out. So, at about T+118.

Seemed that there was a Nozzle RUD at approximately 1:19 into the test firing.
Then instead of a replay, they signed off.

Seemed like they were doing a lot of gimballing throughout the test (a lot more than would be expected in flight), I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
