One of the remaining cables let go, and the resulting shift of weight distribution finished off the remaining cables on that side one after another as the shifting caused the load to exceed their maximum capacity, and the dome even fell off during the initial swing.
In the up close drone footage at Tower 4... as the second cable starts to give, you watch all the paint strip right off the cable, leaving the steel completely exposed.
Scott Manley synchronized the two parts of the video now.
