They said ahead of time they were shutting one booster engine down to test redundancy.

They did that too, but they also had an early engine failure. No big deal, they're redundant, and the booster they caught during flight 8 suffered worse.

Yes. Looks like it ignited and ran correctly for the first few minutes though.
