This the same SpaceX that caused multiple airliners to divert after their rocket exploded and rained debris onto active flight corridors?
Pretty sure the TFR didn't change when it exploded, it was already there incase it exploded.
The FAA had to activate a contingency plan, a Debris Response Area, after the explosion. Instead of one rocket, you have an expanding cloud of debris that takes varying time to descend. Some planes had to enter a holding pattern to stay out of the area, while others delayed takeoff.

Thanks for the link! I also didn't realize FL airports had (short) delays because of the incident.
