The repeated booms of the afterburners engagement on-off sure gets ones attention. I have seen (and heard and felt) them over the decades- and it seems the burner cans were homebuilt- as the original engines fitted to aircraft did not have afterburners. Looking like tire(s) failures somewhere in the sequence and it seems they used regular truck tires!!
