Yes, very good video. The videographer is obviously good and uses a tripod.

Speaking of which, It will be covered in next weeks episode of "Terror in the Skies"!
Some stupid comments on the utube site, especially about Boeing Vs Airbus and clearing the runway.

Hardly an explosion. Engine failure, yes. Might, just might scrape into 2nd definition:
