It's not a big deal in terms of development - they have more right behind it. However, while it doesn't sound like there have been any reported incidents with debris, this definitely splattered chunks all over the place. They had to reroute flights around the area for a while.
I'm guessing the FAA is going to be pretty cranky about this which could delay the next flight until they figure out how to prevent another similar incident.
