Looks like it was about to fail @ 0:03
I've never seen a rocket stale like that on purpose (even with the 2 impulses)

in total agreement with #9, unless not thinking of actually being 'born ballistic', for usual rocketry approach it gets pretty localize'able once you get through those first four minutes, which makes me think of common neighbours fightin' upon the same parking spot in front of the their block of flats: ..I can't tell the place, nor the artillery army corps it should belong (is it late afternoon they launched it: anyone?!).

After having watched many Space Shuttle launches this vid is pretty boring.
