Boost was mostly straight and very slightly right. Separated around 150' and sustainer then tipped more t' t' right. Ejection occurred after t' rocket tipped over and it drifted back toward t' flightline, landin' just behind t' high-power pads. Booster fluttered back and landed behind t' flightline.
