A potential wrinkle to the on-pad explosion:
Roscosmos threw shade at SpaceX by claiming there was weird smells and high concentrations of rubbing alcohol when they opened the Crew Dragon hatch at the ISS. The Russians steadfastily refused to authorize the docking of that capsule, though they had no authority to stop it. I suspect they will use this explosion to drive up bad international press of their commercial rivals in the near future.
