Hey, man where is the good old music of this video? That older one is much better than the current music. That older song were much more well suited to the video. I know the video is yours, but the old hit is much better. If possible, it would be interesting to watch the same video but with the good old music. Please, pal, reupload it.

Why do the Soviet officials ... observing the rocket destroying itself while its crew are pulled from safety in the nick of time ... look bored?

[Bruno Leal]

I see that cold action (reaction) from them!!! tnks...

How cooly did that commie rupert itch his nose as the escape tower flys off into the darkness!!??

[Bruno Leal]

This is amazing and it says a lot of how much safer the soyuz is, the crew of Soyuz 18a did this also, but they ejected while they were flying, they landed safely near the chinese border.

EH? the apollo system also had an escape tower system except it was never needed.

[Tom Jones]

That is an interesting information. Thanks.

And the sidemount system

[istochnikov45257]

In fact, the delay was because the ground communication lines to the Soyuz umbilical lines were melted. The eject orden was given via-radio and not by the crew as the description said.

[Tom Jones]

No, the fact that the crew survived, doesn't mean the reaction time was the shortest possible. It could have been even shorter and that would give the crew better chances of survival since there is no way to know at which point the rocket will fully explode.

[OmereLeCrabe]

The entire crew survived. That means reaction time were sufficiant.

I wish I could go back in time and give the Russkies some better cameras! :P

According to Wikipedia, the abort command cable had already burned and ground control could only activate the abort via radio 20 seconds later.

Indeed the guys inside must have had a hot time there !

[Tom Jones]

I can count almost 10 seconds between the moment the flames went off and the safety rocket launch. Way too long,

I wonder where the medical staff retrieved the cosmonauts' tonsils...
