Although it didn't land as they wanted, primary mission is still success. Also the booster is in the sea and still transmitting and will be recovered, but only be used for internal spaceX missions. Unfortunately the live spaceX webcast tuned away from the failing booster. But Elon has given his word it was wrong to tune away.

The issue is apparently with the hydraulics system of the grid fins that had a problem. It was nice to see that the gimballing engines recovered the spin before the sea landing.
