45:14 this is not what happened.... im not sure why but the front rockets were fired first and it basicly fell out of the air.... if the verticals where fired at all on that run it might have actually saved it... and this isnt like a small omission... you literally made a bunch of stuff up.... ive seen the whole video the pilot was not blinded by the vertical rockets as in the video they never fired
