Starship Flight 7
It wasn't FTS, it just blew up:

That doesn't negate FTS.

Imo if SpaceX thought it was possibly FTS they wouldn't say RUD. They still had telemetry for multiple seconds as it pitched wildly and engines failed, if FTS didn't trigger then it probably didn't at all.

Yeah I thought about that some more and at that altitude and speed the FTS is usually already deactivated.
