What I saw the next day was a quote from Musk that said:

"Elon Musk identified the cause of the recent RUD of SpaceX's Starship rocket as over-pressurization due to excess gas. This happened because of a leak in the cavity above the ship's engine firewall, which led to a buildup of pressure that exceeded the vent capacity. Musk mentioned that the inside of the ship caught fire, ultimately causing the explosion."

Understanding rocketry will have to be in another lifetime for me. But the seal failure in '86 was a fairly limited circumstance and had it not been for Feynman they might still be scratching their heads.
