Too bad Space X missed the booster but it had to happen sooner or later. As they increase the number of launches the average recovery rate will increase.

I have a question about the failed landing. At 05:58 there is a semicircular piece of debris just to the left of the leftward grid fun that I've never seen floating away from the stage before.

Could this portion of the 1st stage that appears to depart have anything to do with the failure?
