What kind of system or structure do you have in place to keep it "strapped down" and keep it from taking off?

I too wondered that! Was waiting for the attachment or ground to breakaway like in Avengers AoU

Oh come on!! No sound again?!
May as well just post a photo and not bother with a vid if you're not going to include an audio feed. -
Having got that off my chest... Only one more side booster to test!! Yes!! FH is coming!!
-
Only that and SLC-40 brought back online (August?) and LC-39a modified for Heavy. Just those three things. The last 2 being sequential.
-
Yup. I am aware that the launch pads still need to be brought up to specs. But as far as the FH itself, just 1 more side booster to test.

-
I think they are planning a full duration burn for the three boosters together as well. That'll wake the neighbors.
-
They are?? I mean that makes sense, but is the structure at the test facility built to hold down THREE simultaneously fired up F9 boosters?
-
They built that test stand, with the below-ground-level flame trench, for testing the Heavy.
-
AFAIK that stand is too small for 3 boosters. Trench is to reduce noise complaints in MacGregor. Static fire of all 3 will be on pad 39a.
