Apparently the first stage of Falcon 9 just crashed while attempting to land on a barge.

The spokesperson said that one of the landing legs broke off when the stage hit the barge harder than expected. Footage of the crash still underway.

The barge was in rough seas, to me at least it didn't look like the stage could even stand on such an unstable platform let alone land.
