Why would they ground the whole fleet, the only bad outcome is economic for the company.

We don’t fuck around with rockets. If there’s a problem with one, we fix that problem with all of them first. Too much energy and velocities involved to just not care what happened and treat it like a common fender bender. Whatever caused this to happen could also maybe happen in flight and cause an accident.
