Has been utterly changed into fire"
Why not be utterly changed into fire?

Debris from this rocket fell for quite some time. It started appear on radar around 6:40 pm eastern, and 20 minutes later there were still chunks falling. I'm too lazy right now to setup my Windows PC with better software to check beam elevation, but imagine that's what this is. It's not birds.
