I think I first saw that video, what, 5 years ago?  Not sure how long ago, but it's been around quite a while.  Still fun to watch though.

Why is it back in the news again? Did the car finally come down?

I had never seen that one before.  Very cool.
Hopefully Mr. Bomber enjoyed his flight.

Car looks like it's a mile away, but you hear the sound when you see the explosion.

Still pretty impressive.

Video editors do that a lot.  Kind of annoying.

Is this the one?

In the youtube version, you hear two explosions. It looks like the sound from the first explosion reaches the camera coincidentally at about the same time as the second explosion goes off.

I always thought the car exploding at apogee was a nice touch

Yeah, thought so, thanks for the confirmation.  There's so much wind blast in the mike it's kind of hard to tell what's going on for me.

My puneurons kept thinking "roamin' candle."

Oog.  Bad.  Phblt.*  Me go now.
