So apparently Starship can lose 10 engines and still limp off the OLM and clear the pad (but not make orbit).
Barring some weird issue with the clamps or a plumbing or pressure failure, it seems like clearing the pad, at the very least, is almost certain.

Could you imagine, after waiting two years for Starship’s orbital demo, turning on the webcast and seeing John Insprucker, and then suddenly watching it explode less than a minute into flight?

OFT-1 could be 100% successful and you just know so many people will say:
>Well actually Starship did not reach orbit because it’s perigee was in the atmosphere ;;;;))))))))))))))
