Landing attempt on barge almost succeeded

I heard about this while I was in a motel room.  That and a few other things, but I digress.

Here's a couple of videos of the attempt, which I will study.  At the moment, the computer isn't working as well as I'd like.









Update:

Could strong cross winds have caused instability in the rocket as it came down?  I have always thought that the idea of landing such a tall structure invites things like this.  This thought also came from my own recent experiences out in West Texas with the tarp and the wind.  If the wind is ever a factor, landing would be a big time problem, as the rocket isn't particularly stable.

Why not landing it inside a volcano like the James Bond flick?
