If the Starship self-destruct mechanism indeed took place when it was about to shut off its engines, then this should be the approximate area where it disintegrated

Another shot of today's Starship launch. I'm still at a loss for words. What an incredible launch, and to take place at such a beautiful time of day... wow, wow, wow.

After surviving the heated stage separation, ship continued it's burn. Unfortunately signal was lost just before the burn was meant to end.
The video shows what looks like an explosion, likely triggered by Ship's FTS.
This launch will be very valuable to SpaceX and with the deluge performing well, we could see the next launch without such a long wait.

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second integrated flight test of Starship!
Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through stage separation.
The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly shortly after stage separation while Starship's engines fired for several minutes on its way to space.
With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary

"Do you think first stage pressurisation issues? Seemed to lose engines during the flip."
I think you right after looking at the engine status during shutdown and restart after the flip.

It did the spicy thing: hot staging.
