Fascinating, all 3 boosters returned back to earth. Only just found this on You Tube as I posted.

Not sure if you're aware, but that channel you linked isn't exactly "live". They rip off other YouTube videos and then replay them using the YouTube "Live Now" as an exploit of sorts. There's been a push to get these kinds of channels removed because they are essentially stealing views from other channels.

Arabsat 6A actually launched just over 3 weeks ago and unfortunately, while it landed okay, the core booster was lost several hours later because of rough seas which caused the booster to tip over before crews could secure it to the barge.

*-) ... you're saying that just because it's on the internet, doesn't make it true? What have I been doing all these years!?

Trust me to get ripped off by that, in future guess I'll just have to watch and enjoy even though it is old news.
