Everyone watch the original video before it’s pulled.

I saw it off the CBS site earlier and the rocket burn light/fire signature is even more apparent on that version of the video.

It is hard to imagine how a contrail has a rocket tail burn appearing as it rolls off vertical.

But, hey, we are just the milk cows — keep working ‘til the 5:00 whistle.

Any pilots out there who can translate this from the comments on the video?
