vogonford
Footage of the failed Mercury-Redstone 1 launch, where the engine cut off almost immediately after liftoff. The escape tower and parachutes then deployed because the rocket thought the flight was over.
Cited as the canonical footage of the famous four-inch flight, usually when discussing aborted launches.
