It shows the C-130 on final, then they fire the rockets. A bit
too early, as it turns out - the plane comes to a complete halt
when still around 50 feet in the air, and predictably, falls out
the sky.
Here's that video, Dylan:

It's a remarkable display of altitude misjudgment...
The amazing thing to me is that those rockets did stop forward progress
really well. The distance over the ground after firing appeared well less
of 500 feet.
Of course, adding in the vertical vector nearly straight down didn't help,
and all the drag created by the gear and wings digging into the ground
probably helped too.
