"The strut failure is what SpaceX reported but it could have also been a COPV explosion."

It also could have been a sandwich left in the LOX tank, or malware planted by Nigerian scammers. If you don't accept the information provided by the relevant parties then the possibilities are basically unlimited. That's not to say that you must accept what they say, but if you don't then why would you focus on this particular possibility out of millions?

Damn. That's where I left my Sandwich. Do you think it might have survived the explosion?

There's always a chance. You should get in touch with SpaceX and see.

I did. The it was intact after the explosion, but the sniper shot it in flight.

Sounds like a coverup to me. I bet Elon ate your sandwich.
