Rocket Lab Electron 2nd Stage Failed - Loss of Payload (twitter.com)

From the live stream, it appears that the 2nd stage motor started, then stopped a couple of seconds later. If so, I'm guessing a sudden loss of power to the electric propellant pumps.

ETA: Appears to have spun hard shortly after staging.

There was a methane leak at the base after landing, but there were no catastrophes. Clearly the flip maneuver works.
