What you’re missing is that the landing zone for SpaceX booster stages is also cleared of marine traffic.

christ on a stick. Its like talking to a wind up toy.

Their plan was not to land anywhere in the world, duh.

Their plan was to land in designated area, but the landing failed. This could have endangered lives. Investigation is to ensure no one was at risk and contingency was in place.

Why is this so hard?

The Falcon 9 booster fell into the ocean well inside of a designated area clear of marine traffic, other than the unmanned drone ship it attempted to land on. No lives were endangered. The only thing that went wrong is that it didn’t stick the landing on the drone ship, but that’s not a safety issue since the booster still came down inside the designated area.
it looks like you are resistant to simple facts. Please go away.
You’re the one that replied to me, kid.
