There is a nice video of the full airborne phase, up to its demise in the water. Luckily the launch pad is not impacted.

They did reach the 30 seconds of flight announced prior to the launch, so not too bad. It looks like primarily GNC issue, though this could also be originating from a thruster issue.

While it was not terrible for a first flight, crashing on land surely isn't a good thing.
