This is the best summary I could come up with:

Following the ultimately successful liftoff of this third cargo Dragon mission to the International Space Station, SpaceX founder Elon Musk was asked about the incident during a news conference.

SpaceX initially targeted a window from the second half of January into the middle of February for this launch in 2014, but this was delayed due to a coolant leak on board the space station.

But the problems persisted, including a fire on the Air Force base near the launch site that caused issues with radars used to track rockets in flight.

A potent oxidizer in the combustion of rocket engines, liquid oxygen must be kept at very cold temperatures to prevent boiling, below minus-297° Fahrenheit (minus-147° Celsius).

At least tens of thousands of gallons, if not more, built up in the concrete flame trench beneath the rocket that carries gas and exhaust away from the vehicle during the initial seconds of launch.

At the moment of liftoff, and in the ensuing seconds afterward, Lim was focused on the stream of telemetry returning information about the health of the Falcon 9.
