The Patriot launches by being blown from its box...so I suppose that *all*
Patriots explode on launch, sort of.  (Wonder how the neighbors would deal
with me driving out of the garage that way?)  Spectacular start, and the
boom as it goes through Mach 1 a bit above the ground gets your attention,
too.

Haven't seen any of the flying-into-the-ground video.
