At least that's what Elon Musk said. I had to look that up as it sounded like a SNAFU to me 
RUD = Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly
"SpaceX winning streak meets explosive end
Musk reports Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly
SpaceX's winning streak came to an explosive end with one of its rockets blowing up during its attempted landing.
The Falcon 9 rocket has - as its name suggests - nine rockets to take off, but uses just three to land. One of those failed to deliver full thrust on landing, causing it land very hard on the company's drone ship.
That lead to, in Elon Musk's words, a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.
Despite it being fourth time unlucky, the main mission was successful however: SpaceX successfully delivered two satellites into geostationary orbit."
