Strange communications dropout during Ariane 5 launch.
[Twitter] A5/SES/AlYah: Arianespace confirms the SES-14 and Al Yah 3 satellites are safety in orbit after a communications dropout during launch that raised concern about a possible failure.

Another bit of info:
There has not been telemetry since first stage separation according to the graph. How @Arianespace confirmed the following events is a major question. Did they get bits of data? If it wasn't actually confirmed, that will make them look pretty bad, so hopefuly not.
