Comparing the before and after of the explosion in New Glenn, it's possible to see that one of the lightning rod towers on LC-36 and the strongback have completely disappeared.
Based on a handful of sources, this is what I've been able to glean about the New Glenn failure this evening in Florida. TL;DR, it's freaking bad.

@SciGuySpace Definitely doesn’t outweigh the pain of a pad rebuild, but yeah your sentiment is correct. Just looking at the video it doesn’t appear to be anywhere near the prescriptive 100% yield requirement, so they should get a reduction for sure.
Successful stage separation test campaign ✅ We're validating stage separation for Neutron, one of the most novel rocket separation systems ever designed.
From sep system design, component testing and qualification, GSE design, manufacturing, commissioning, and operations planning through to test execution - we're proving out the technology behind one of Neutron's most critical events for mission success.
Up next: moving into intentional off-nominal separation events with non-flight test articles to further push the system's resilience.
