I think that is going to take a while to get fixed and the concrete columns don't look too great either.

That is trash now. Maybe the one from Site 1 is still usable, otherwise they'll need to build a new one.

There are sadly no images yet, that show the state of the rails below the pad, on which the structure moved. The structure can likely be easily replaced.
I also can't tell how the structure can even fall into the pit, unless it was not fully retracted into its storage location.

I'd say they rolled it out after launch and didn't stop and...

No, 5 minutes before launch it seems to be gone, but its hard to see if it was properly retracted or not. One hour before launch, people were still walking below the pad and after the launch, the stream cut directly after many people looked down into the trench....
And the concrete of the pad looks terrible..... Also, is it normal that so many cables are hanging down the pad?

I'd like to see the complete footage from this camera...
Should be over 65 years old by now, in a place with large temperature swings during the year, plus the rockets.

Sadly, I can't find any comparable launch video showing the flame trench as clear during engine ignition as this one. Found some weird additional flames below that looked like something deflected the exhaust forward.
