One solid fueled engine clearly flew on by itself. They filmed that. Two contrails extended from the fireball. Did both boosters fly on? What in the main fuel tank could burn white? Hydrogen burns blue. Did the camara saturate with the brightness? Does anybody on the .net have more information than network television?
