No telemetry from the landing stage? Or views from the nearby boats (how close is the nearest boat anyway?)

Well, they (the people at spacex) probably have everything, but I don't have access to this information :) Just watching the webcast, nothing indicated if the landing was ok or not. The people presenting the cast didn't know either.
They have just said that they got lots of good data. Even though the landing failed.
The boats are quite a distance away. During the JCSAT-14 mission, there was actually video on the webcast from one of the boats, and the barge was over the horizon. It was night, so it's hard to get a feel for just how far away, though.
