You saying shut down the engines from the ground? The vehicle computer would have a much better understanding of the system than the people on the ground during those first minutes. I'm guessing they just needed to trust their programming at that point.
If youโre talking milliseconds, yes, but it was many seconds between losing the engines and aborting. If they have the nasa level of engineers monitoring this, they sh out k f have noticed pretty fast. Either one should have shut them down faster.
Even the camera director had noticed and cut away to the studio.
