The video shows the Soyuz T-10-1 attempted launch of September 26, 1981. The launch escape system fired just two seconds before the rocket exploded for a fuel spill. The capsule was pulled away from the explosion, with an acceleration of 14 to 17g (137 to 167 m/s²) which lasted for five seconds. Despite some minor injuries caused by the sudden acceleration, the crew landed safely some 6.5 km from the launch pad.
