Where was Starship debris confirmed to land relative to the launch site in Texas?

Answer

Onto islands belonging to the Turks and Caicos territory in the Caribbean

Debris from the Starship test flight, which experienced an in-flight anomaly resulting in an explosion off the coast of Florida, was tracked and confirmed to have landed far from the launch site in Texas. Specifically, wreckage littered sections of islands belonging to the Turks and Caicos territory. This geographic dispersal elevated the issue from a domestic concern over the intended offshore impact zone to an international incident because these sovereign islands are hundreds of miles away from the originating launch location. The distance traveled highlights the challenge of containing debris during developmental flight tests, even when launch sites are chosen to maximize overwater flight paths, as atmospheric currents can carry components significantly off course.
