Engine failure on leaving the ground

An interesting practical demonstration of engine out on lift-off and subsequent recovery of a rocket. They determined that one of the main engines shut off about a second after launch.

Good job it walked the way it did! Looks like it followed the engine-out procedure down the valley before climbing away

Goes to show how far rocket guidance and engine technology has come on in the recent past. This engine out incident would have resulted in a total failure and destruction of the rocket not so long ago.
